Michael Lind (The Next American Nation) makes the point
that patents, IP, and professional licensure (i.e.,
tenure!) are the upper-class ("white overclass") variant
of protectionism.

Consistent free-traders should be willing to do away
with those barriers to trade as well.  How do laissez
faire econ profs justify tenure?

It may be that intellectual property laws may be the most effective form
of protectionism devised so far.
