Book description
Bill Gates author of The road ahead

"The portion of the world's economy that doesn't fit the old model just keeps getting larger. That has major implications for everything from tax law to economic policy to which cities thrive and which cities fall behind, but in general, the rules that govern the economy haven’t kept up. This is one of the biggest trends in the global economy that isn’t getting enough attention. If you want to understand why this matters, the brilliant new book Capitalism Without Capital by Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake is about a good an explanation as I’ve seen."
Bill Gates

“Capitalism Without Capital” is an essential read for anyone looking to grasp the fundamental changes occurring in modern economies. This book examines the rise of intangible assets and their impact on business, investment, and economic policy.

• The economic properties that make intangibles different from physical assets
• Why traditional accounting and economic measures struggle to capture the value of intangibles
• How the rise of intangibles affects competition, inequality, and economic growth
• Strategies for businesses and policymakers to thrive in an intangible-rich economy

“Capitalism Without Capital” offers a fresh perspective on the evolving economic landscape, providing readers with the tools to navigate and succeed in an increasingly intangible world. Whether you’re a seasoned executive, a curious investor, or simply someone interested in the future of the global economy, this book will transform your understanding of how modern capitalism functions.
