Against Intellectual Property is a concise nonfiction essay by N. Stephan Kinsella that argues against the legal and philosophical foundations of intellectual property, especially patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Written from a libertarian and Austrian economics perspective, the book does not treat IP as a neutral technical issue. Instead, it frames it as a deep problem about property, coercion, and market order. Kinsella’s central claim is that real property rights apply to scarce, rivalrous resources, while IP creates state-backed claims over non-scarce information and expressions. The book is short, but it aims to be systematic: it challenges common justifications for IP, questions the idea that creation itself generates ownership, and explains why a free market would likely organize innovation without modern IP law. Because of that focus, it is both a legal-philosophical critique and an economic argument about how creativity and competition function.
