'Genius', 'Faction' and Rescuing Intellectual Property Rights
(2005)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
'Genius', 'Faction' and Rescuing Intellectual Property Rights
(2005)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
Intellectual property rights have been driven relentlessly towards a unitary system for the entire world, originally through passive copying of flawed United States arrangements, but more recently as a result of determined lobbying by American interests. But diversity and competition have the same beneficial potential for institutions themselves as they have for the economic development they can foster or hinder. A financial dimension in measuring grants, protecting innovation directly, compulsory technical arbitration of disputes, and some positive discrimination in favour of smaller firms could contribute to moving the balance back towards the diversity in rights that other countries need.

A Spectre is Haunting the World - the Spectre of Global Capitalism

A Spectre is Haunting the World - the Spectre of Global Capitalism
(2000)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
peer-reviewed
Individual property rights are fruitful for economic development because they civilize self-interest by forcing it to serve the public good. Globalization represents individual property rights that are out of control, since there is no global mechanism for civilizing self interest. Schumpeter's sense of the impending demise of capitalism, if not of its replacement by socialism, may yet be vindicated.

Intellectual Property in the Lisbon Treaty

Intellectual Property in the Lisbon Treaty
(2008)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
peer-reviewed
Article 118 of the Lisbon Treaty empowers Brussels to set up "centralised Union-wide authorisation, co-ordination and supervision arrangements" to provide "uniform intellectual property rights protection throughout the Union". The consequences for European innovation can only be negative, since the example of similar centralisation in the United States shows that it cannot deliver appropriate protection for diverse and new kinds of information.

Intellectual Property, the Banking Crisis and the Public Interest

Intellectual Property, the Banking Crisis and the Public Interest
(2011)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
The UK Hargreaves inquiry is one more testimony to the failure of intellectual property laws to deliver the innovation that is their only justification. This parallels numerous similar investigations of the worldwide banking crisis. Yet both failures have an easily understood common cause: the making of property laws has been allowed to fall into the hands of those who benefit from them. Since capitalism can only work by denying capitalists the power to set their own working conditions, the crucial question for any reform is: who can now speak for the public interest in these kinds of legislation?

Schumpeter, Business Cycles and Co-Evolution
(2006)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
In Business Cycles (1939) Schumpeter took up empirical data which had been produced by Kondratieff, and made the ‘‘clustering’’ of innovations into the actual cause of long economic cycles. The book was a failure, largely due to negative reviews which stressed the poor quality of its statistical analysis. In fact, an even more serious fault in it is its reflection of a near-total blind spot in Schumpeter’s perspective about the part played by law in economic life. He thought that ‘‘It is entirely immaterial whether or not [changes in the institutional framework] are embodied in, or recognized by, legislation.’’ The reality is that the concept of coevolution of technology and ways of doing business, on the one hand, and legal changes which affect the conditions for investment in them, on the other, explain long cycles much more persuasively than Schumpeter’s approach. It suggests that the first Kondratieff cycle was made possible by the availability of ‘‘full’’ property rights, the s...

What Can We Do About the Civil Service?

What Can We Do About the Civil Service?
(2001)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
An aspect of recent revelations from Tribunals and other enquiries is how badly the Civil Service has come out of them. The Department of Agriculture has been shown up by evidence at the Beef Tribunal, Health by Lindsay and the Pensioners' Homes case, Finance by the Dail Committee on Public Accounts, the Revenue Commissioners by the same Committee and the McCracken, Moriarty and Flood tribunals, Public Enterprise by the revived Tuskar Rock air crash enquiry, education by the Cromien Report and the Synnott case, Justice by the Special Criminal Court affair, and so on. It is perfectly obvious from the enquiry reports that there were many civil servants who knew that what was going on was wrong, but who could not speak out about it because the penalty for doing so in terms of their jobs is simply too great. In terms of what might be done to remedy this sad state of affairs, this article focuses on only one issue, which is that of job independence.
