Free Pirate Wiki
- a wiki on 21st century free pirates, inspired by 16th century radical reformers, 17th century levellers, 18th century whigs, 19th century liberals, and 20th century libertarian liberals. Free pirates are liberalizing pirates. They seek a free economy and a free culture.
- a wiki which hopes to be a book someday, a short one

For centuries, the battle for economic progress has identified with the battle for free trade. In the decades to come, the battle for economic progress will identify, more and more, with the battle against intellectual monopoly. As in the battle for free trade, the first step must consist in destroying the intellectual foundations of the obscurantist postion. Back then the mercantilist fallacy taught that, to become wealthy, a country must regulate trade and strive for trade surpluses. Today, the same fallacy teaches that without intellectual monopoly innovations would be impossible. Our goal here is to demolish that glass house. -- Against Intellectual Monopoly, Chapter 1, p. 12
