Wrap-Up for Book Club on "Justifying Intellectual Property"

Many thanks for a really engaging book club to our terrific set of participants: Oren Bracha, John Duffy, Wendy Gordon, Justin Hughes, Jonathan Masur, and of course our author, Robert Merges.  Rob had a pretty busy day providing responses to the other participants, and the result is a club that dives deep down into the book.  In case you missed some of the posts, or just want a handy guide for future reference, here's a chronological list:

• Introductory Post
• Gordon: Thoughts on Justifying Intellectual Property
• Masur: The New Institutional Philosophy of Rob Merges
• Merges: Merges on Gordon on Rawls and IP
• Gordon: Replying to Rob Merges, Justifying Intellectual Property
• Bracha: What Good are Midlevel Principles in IP?  [Thoughts on Justifying IP]
• Merges: Midlevel Principles: Response to Jonathan Masur
• Merges: Even More on Midlevel Principles in IP Law - Response to Bracha
• Duffy: Merges and Descartes
• Hughes: More on Rawls and Intellectual Property
• Bracha: Still on Midlevel Principles in IP: A Reply to Rob Merges
• Masur: Masur on Merges on Masur on Merges
• Merges: Justifying IP: Putting the Horse Before Descartes (Response to Duffy)

I have a feeling some of these discussions could continue on into the future.  If you haven't gotten the book, you can find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and HUP, or get Chapter 1 at SSRN. .
