Restarting the Future

In "Restarting the Future," authors Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the shortcomings of our current economic framework, which has struggled to adapt to the growing importance of intangible assets like knowledge and relationships. They argue that the sluggish growth and rising inequality experienced over the past two decades result from outdated institutions that are misaligned with today’s economy. Offering innovative solutions, the authors provide a roadmap for improving financing, urban development, scientific research, and intellectual property, aiming to usher in a new era of prosperity and fairness.
