Capitalism Without Capital offers a non-technical, wide-ranging scrutiny of the increasing growth of ephemeral goods and services in the economy. The authors provide a consistent economic explanation for the growth of gigantic firms and conglomerates supplying intangible goods and use this analysis, which is especially appropriate for cultural economics, to analyse the finance of this fast-growing sector.---Ruth Towse, Journal of Cultural Economics[Capitalism without Capital is] superb and important.---Yuval Levin, National ReviewAn intriguing book. . . . Perhaps the most surprising facts in a book full of surprises is how large investments in intangible assets--in research and development, software, databases, artistic creations, designs, branding and business processes--now are. . . . Messrs Haskel and Westlake have mapped the economics of a challenging new economy.---Martin Wolf, Financial TimesAnd before anyone starts talking about 'the pettiness of arguing over symbols', let me point you to an amazing new book by an ex-colleague of mine, Stian Westlake, called Capitalism Without Capital: the Rise of the Intangible Economy.---Pat Kane, The NationalEconomist Jonathan Haskel and UK government adviser Stian Westlake describe in an entertaining and engaging way why governments need to count innovation as an engine of profit.---Ehsan Masood, NatureOne of Blackwell's Best of Non-Fiction 2017One of Financial Times (FT.com) Best Books of 2017: EconomicsSelected for Askblog's Books of the year 2017, chosen by Arnold KlingThe best books on economics take a theme that is instantly recognisable and intuitively correct, and run with it. Capitalism Without Capital, which has been causing a stir recently by charting the rise of so-called intangible investment, is thus a good and thought-provoking book. . . . And, unlike a lot of economics, it is firmly rooted in the world we are in.---David Smith, Sunday TimesThe growing importance of the intangible economy is explored in [this] fascinating book.---John Looby, The Sunday TimesThe 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 a very relevant and timely book.---Peter A. Coclanis, Raleigh News & Observer[Capitalism without Capital] needs to be read by anyone seeking to understand the nature of modern capitalism and its politics.---Daniel Finkelstein, The TimesA first-rate book.---Arnold Kling, Askblog, A great new book Capitalism without Capital by Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake suggests the rise of intangible assets makes corporate banking riskier.---Manish Sabharwal, The Indian ExpressFor an introduction, though, it would be hard to do better than Capitalism without Capital, which is clear and lively and raises--without having all the answers--the relevant questions.---Diane Coyle, The Enlightened EconomistHaskel and Westlake tell this story in a compelling way that is chock-full of examples that make the argument concrete and make the book highly readable.---Daniel E. Sichel, Business EconomicsHaskel and Westlake's book focuses on the rise of the intangible economy. They are not trying to make any statement on the EU, but in one chapter of their book they plot tangible and intangible investment against an OECD measure of employment strictness. The results are fascinating. In their own words: 'countries with more restrictive hiring and firing invest more in tangibles and less in intangibles'.---Graeme Leach, CityAMIn Capitalism
