Rethinking ownership of invention and the public good

This concise exploration argues that private control of new technology can hinder progress and widen inequality. It surveys how patents and monopolies shape who benefits from breakthroughs, and it makes the case for considering state ownership as a path to broader national and social gains. The book examines historical examples and asks who should reap the rewards of innovation in the future.

From railways to wireless tech, it traces how private interests have influenced the spread of inventions—and how society might do better by shifting toward collective control. It presents a practical argument for reforming how inventions are protected, developed, and shared for the benefit of all, not just a few.

Understand how patents can slow invention and concentrate wealth
Explore the idea that government involvement could boost invention and public welfare
See historical stories of inventors who faced poverty despite their contributions
Learn how alternative ownership models could change the course of technology

Ideal for readers of technology history, economic policy, and social reform looking for a clear, accessible framework for public ownership of invention.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that while public ownership of key industries has often been a force for good, purchasing already existing private companies at inflated prices is often a waste of money that burdens the public with debt. Instead, the author suggests that governments would be better served by focusing on acquiring useful new inventions. They argue that the technological discoveries of the last hundred years have been used primarily to enrich the capitalist class because the state grants private individuals monopolies on these innovations. The author instead suggests that governments take control of new patents and inventions, fairly compensating the inventors, in order to prevent the monopolies that lead to such inequality. By doing so, the author believes nations can more effectively and equitably capitalize on the progress offered by future technological advancements. This book will be of particular interest to readers seeking a deeper look at the development of capitalism and the obstacles it presents to true social progress.
