Sensational. This book is a guiding light
to make me understand how things have gone this way.

Intellectual property rights like patents,
differently from the original objectives, are now more hampering than helping
the innovations. The author used Disney as a good example to avoid copyright
issues by using old stories as the basis for its production.

The author claims that higher taxes are not
solutions to the current economy. More capitalism through competition is the
solution of the book. Personally, I think we need to add one more condition to
that. The limit to the ownership of capital: we need to set a limit to the
maximum amount of capital that one can own through one’s lifetime. This way we
can make sure that ‘we can live a living through living, not only through
earning.’

The author wrote that this book is to
change the system in a conservative way before too late. While I can understand
his view, another thought comes to my mind. What has ended the Middle Ages of
Europe? Are they the nobles like knights? The Catholic Church? Kings or queens?
No. So, I doubt if any positive change can happen from those who get the
benefits from the current economy.
