Summary:
"Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in
intangible
assets, like design, branding, R&D, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, from tech firms and pharma companies to coffee shops and gyms, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success. But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new
economy
.
Capitalism
without
Capital
shows that the growing importance of
intangible
assets has also played a role in some of the big economic changes of the last decade. The
rise
of
intangible
investment is, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue, an underappreciated cause of phenomena from economic inequality to stagnating productivity. Haskel and Westlake bring together a decade of research on how to measure
intangible
investment and its impact on national accounts, showing the amount different countries invest in intangibles, how this has changed over time, and the latest thinking on how to assess this. They explore the unusual economic characteristics of
intangible
investment, and discuss how these features make an intangible-rich
economy
fundamentally different from one based on tangibles.
Capitalism
without
Capital
concludes by presenting three possible scenarios for what the future of an
intangible
world might be like, and by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an
intangible
age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies."--Jacket flap.
