Michael Mann, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles 'The author of this ambitious and well-written volume attempts to both synthesize and add to what we know about the historical emergence of intellectual property law. She not only covers two thousand years of legal history in an exemplary manner, but also makes many exciting forays into unknown territory. This work represents a milestone in the scholarship on intellectual property. It is of much interest not only to scholars in law but also in history and social science.' Richard Swedberg, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, Cornell University 'Books that make the familiar over are comfy. Books that make the familiar new are exciting. The Intellectual Property of Nations is a book of the latter kind. It shows that the roots of intellectual property law are to be found in the Roman law of privilege - the status of being protected from others' interference with one's activities - as developed over more than two thousand years, shaped by Christian through liberal thought, monarchical through democratic government, and agricultural though digital economies. The story is both surprising and wondrous. Read and enjoy.' John Henry Schlegel, UB Distinguished Professor and Floyd H. & Hilda L. Hurst Faculty Scholar, University at Buffalo School of Law Author InformationLaura R. Ford is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Bard College.
