The lead article on "IP Debates: The Lessons of History," looks at the cycles of contention over IP, mostly patents, over the past two centuries.
"Market Leaders and Industrial Policy" questions antitrust dogma, noting that:
research has shown that the innovative role of market leaders in high-tech sectors represents a main component of technological progress . . . .
