Capitalism without capital
4th December 2017
A new book by Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake - Capitalism without Capital: The Rise of the Intangible Economy - is causing quite a stir among those intrigued by the rise of digital platform businesses.
Early in the 21st century, a quiet revolution occurred: the rise of the intangible economy. Professor Jonathan Haskel explains how this is a cause of everything from economic inequality to stagnating productivity.
Great synthesis in the FT of the new book by Jonathan Haskel, one of our Imperial College Business School professors! https://t.co/EGw2NcsFK2
