Description
The Knowledge Economy by Roberto Mangabeira Unger explores the transformative potential of the knowledge economy. In this account, the author examines how the most advanced practice of production - now known as the knowledge economy - has become a fringe excluding many workers and businesses. Unger argues that the confinement of the knowledge economy to these insular vanguards has driven economic stagnation and inequality worldwide. He proposes a new path forward, one that involves changes in education, culture, and politics, rather than just economic institutions. By understanding the most advanced practice of production, Unger rethinks both economics and the concept of the economy as a whole. This book offers a critical analysis of the knowledge economy and its possible futures, shedding light on the challenges facing contemporary politics and the need for a more inclusive and socially responsible form of economic growth.
