Malbon (Monash U.) and Lawson (Griffith U., Australia) analyze the WTO agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and propose a debate on whether or not it promotes the spread of international wealth to developing countries. The authors examine TRIPS from a variety of perspectives, noting that critics in developing countries may view the agreement as another way in which world financial powers can act as global landlords and bank officers. Written for students and practitioners of global economics, this book also examines the effects of TRIPS on copyright and patent royalties.
