RE COMMISSION ON IP THEFT A NEW VARIATION ON PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON COMPETITIVENESS BBC

US report warns on China IP theft

Reminds me a little of Michael Porter's The Competitive Advantage Of Nations , the result of another Commission back then.

He was on a blue ribbon President's Commission On Competitiveness. There were insights in that book, but he was a real free trade globalist, as all economists have tended to be.

This IP commission, composed mainly of bipartisan globalists too, mostly amateurs in this IP theft subject, plus a military leader or two for good measure; this commission takes the same kind of tack as in the past.

They advocate, for a short term solution, a more nimble, shall we not say, entrepreneurial, President,  (Obama), say a sort of a ' maverick executive ' (Surprise!), to out think these thieves in the global marketplace.

As I have so often reiterated: Never, in the field of human conflict, has so much been given away to so many, by so few, for so little, so quickly. 

Call in Jaron Lanier, re IP theft, in connection with his book  Who Owns The Future.

(The one who owns the future is the one who can best steal it, it seems. That has long been the legacy of liberal democracies, and liberal international economic orders, built thereon. Cf. Smuggler Nation.)

Jaron can surely help us out with this one.
Everyone should nimble them back, at home; not just the President.
