Forum Podcast “Capitalism without Capital” – With Johnathan Haskel

Guest: Johnathan Haskel –  Professor of Economics at Imperial College Business School, Imperial College London and Director of the Doctoral Programme.

Prof. Johnathan Haskel and Forum Fellow Nicolas Wittstock discuss Johnathans’ book Capitalism without Capital – the rise of the intangible economy (with Stian Westlake).

In it, the authors argue that that business investment in intangible capital – like software, knowledge, networks, patents, and processes – are growing in economic importance. This has crucial consequences, as these economic assets have special properties that make them categorically different from more conventional ones.
