書籍簡介

21世紀初，一場無聲的革命發生了。第一次，主要發達經濟體開始更多地投資於無形資產，如設計、品牌和軟件，而不是有形資產，如機器、建築和計算機。對於所有類型的企業來説，能夠部署既看不見也摸不到的資產，越來越成為長期成功的主要來源。

但這不僅僅是人們熟悉的所謂新經濟的故事。《沒有資本的資本主義》表明，無形資產的重要性日益增加，也在過去十年的一些較大的經濟變化中發揮了作用，包括經濟不平等的增長和生產力的停滯。喬納森?哈斯克爾(Jonathan Haskel)和斯蒂安?韋斯特萊克(Stian Westlake)探討了無形投資的不同尋常的經濟特徵，並討論了一個擁有大量無形資產的經濟體與一個基於有形資產的經濟體有何本質區別。

《沒有資本的資本主義》概述了管理者、投資者和決策者如何利用無形時代的特徵來發展他們的業務、投資組合和經濟。

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, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, 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 larger economic changes of the past decade, including the growth in economic inequality and the stagnation of productivity. Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how an economy rich in intangibles is fundamentally different from one based on tangibles.

Capitalism without Capital concludes by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.

“不符合舊模式的世界經濟份額只會越來越大。這對從税法到經濟政策，再到哪些城市繁榮，哪些城市落後等方方面面都有重大影響，但總的來説，管理經濟的規則沒有跟上。這是全球經濟中尚未得到足夠關注的大趨勢之一。如果你想知道為什麼這一點很重要，那麼喬納森·哈斯克爾(Jonathan Haskel)和斯蒂安·韋斯特萊克(Stian Westlake)合著的精彩新書《沒有資本的資本主義》(Capitalism Without Capital)就是一個很好的解釋。“——Bill Gates

"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
