The first comprehensive account of the growing dominance of the intangible economy
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.

Very very tedious. full of "analysis" but no point no conclusion, even no funny sentence.
評分有些地方算 speculative,不過肯定值五星瞭。

評分One of the most important books I read this year.
評分蓋茨先生年度薦書之一,看書名就覺得值得一讀!開篇作者將讀者的注意力抓到Airbnb, Uber,Facebook等等應互聯網而生的新經濟公司資産負錶上Intangible Asset這個item, 錶示這些公司中無形資産的金額已遠超Fixed Asset的金額這一現象,帶大傢進入主題。在解釋瞭無形資産的構成後總結瞭這種intangible investments 的四個特點;進而進一步展開闡述瞭這四個特點內在的聯結和對intangible economy 可能産生的影響。雖然作者沒有給到可以量化measure這些無形資産在經濟計算中的比重的方法,但這個perspective 切入得很好,講齣未來經濟的新趨嚮。這本書予人以很好的啓發,有可再深入探討的論點和研究課題。
