  • Patents and the Wealth of Nations
    2016] 811 PATENTS AND THE WEALTH OF NATIONS Stephen Haber * ** INTRODUCTION There is abundant evidence from economics and history that the world’s wealthy countries grew rich because they had well-developed sys- tems of private property. Clearly defined and impartially enforced property rights were crucial to economic development; they facilitated trade, trade allowed individuals and business enterprises to specialize, specialization made individuals and business enterprises more productive, and more pro- ductive firms and individuals in the aggregate raised national income. Inno- vation and economic growth, in short, emerged out of property systems that allowed economies to operate as a web of contracts. The origin of these ideas go back to Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, but they were sub- sequently elaborated upon by Douglass C. North in 1981, Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson in 2012, and other scholars who made explicit the connection between property rights and the incentives to transact.1 We cannot stress strongly enough the point: economic wellbeing is an outcome of specialization, and specialization is an outcome of private prop- erty rights. Take away clearly defined and impartially enforced property rights and the web of contracts that permits specialization breaks down, so that there is little or no economic surplus created by people trading with one another. Would you build an addition to your house if somebody else could move in without your permission? But if you do not build the addition, * Ph.D. 1985, University of California, Los Angeles; B.A. 1979, George Washington University.
