Restarting the Future: How to “Fix” the Intangible Economy
19.99 €
Over the past twenty years, we have faced slow economic growth, rising inequality, unhealthy competition, and a host of other problems that have left people wondering: what happened to the future they were promised? Resetting the Future shows how these problems arise because we have failed to create the institutions needed for an economy that is now built on intangible capital – ideas, connections, brands, and knowledge.
In their groundbreaking and courageous book, Jonathan Haskell and Stian Westlake argue that the greatest economic disappointment of the century is the result of an incomplete transition from an economy based on physical capital. They show how the most important institutions of our economy are still tuned to outdated ways of doing business. Intangible investment has slowed significantly in recent years, leaving the world poorer, more inequitable, and more vulnerable to global threats. Haskell and Westlake offer promising new ideas to help us keep up with the intangible revolution. They present an action plan: how to finance business, develop cities, increase support for science and research, reform monetary policy and improve intellectual property protection rules.
