    Cover of 'Capitalism Without Capital' by Jonathan Haskel

    This book delves into the modern economic shift towards an intangible asset-driven economy, distinguishing it from traditional, tangible asset-based systems. It explores how investments in intangible assets like design, branding, R&D, and software are overtaking physical assets in importance, fundamentally altering the landscape of business and economy. The authors analyze the unique challenges and opportunities this shift presents, including issues of economic measurement, policy-making, and the distribution of wealth. Through a comprehensive examination, the book provides insights into how the rise of intangible assets is reshaping capitalism, influencing everything from how companies operate to how economies are managed and grow.
