Last week I was in Ha Noi to talk about The Importance of Intellectual Property for Information Technology Development in the Less-Developed World. The gist of my message:
It cannot be stated too often that property rights and markets are not antithetical to “cooperation.” Quite the opposite; they are the precise mechanisms by which advanced societies achieve cooperation. Nothing else works with comparable efficiency and justice – not voluntarism, and certainly not command-and-control. The occasion was a Round Table discussion of Strategies for Building a Competitive Software Industry sponsored by the Vietnamese Association for Information Processing (VAIP) and the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), held in Ha Noi on Nov. 23, 2005.
