The Economics of Intangible Investment (New Directions in Modern Economics series)

By Elizabeth Webster

The amount of physical matter in the world is fixed and improvements to people's material circumstances are only brought about by their ability to reconfigure this matter. What distinguishes labour, and subsequently what allows for better or worse reconfigurations of this matter, are the capabilities, skills and understandings of the labour force as a whole. In addition, the way society synchronizes these individual talents and pieces of knowledge is significant.
