I'm currently wading through George Gilder's new book, "Knowledge and Power."
Why? It's got some good thinking on the new economy that's emerging.
- In it, he makes the case that wealth is a function of how much innovation (knowledge production) occurs in an economic system.
- Further, he makes the claim (as I do) that the system that produces the most novelty (fortuitous mistakes) is the one that wins over the long term.
- The spontaneous emergence of this innovation engine is the reason we live better today than we did 500 years ago.
