Kenneth Brown (author)

Kenneth Brown (author)

Kenneth P. Brown, Jr. is an American author. He is most famous for authoring reports critical of Linux and open source software, notably the book "Samizdat". While his reports have been strongly criticised in technical circles, for the most part his intended audience is the technically un-savvy: legislators, newspaper editors and talk show hosts.

Activities

Brown is the former president of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI), a think tank based in Arlington, Virginia. He oversees the Institution's policy studies and foundation relationships. He is also Vice-President of the Emerging Markets Group, an overseas market investment and advisory firm.

Kenneth Brown also serves on the Board of Directors of the Democratic Century Fund, and oversees investment hedge fund.

Brown has a B.A. in English Literature from George Mason University.
