«¿Proteger o expoliar?» is the essay by Vandana Shiva, published by Fundación Intermón Oxfam in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Vandana Shiva analyses intellectual property rights and patents as tools of corporate power. The author argues that their expansion does not foster creativity, but rather allows multinationals to exploit ideas, genes and traditional knowledge for their own benefit, to the detriment of public health and farmers.
Fifth volume in the Libros de Encuentro collection, published in 2003 with a translation by Ana María Cadarso Gómez.
For readers interested in critical analysis of poverty, development and the impact of patents on health and farmers.
