The origin of wealth 财富的由来

It is now very evident that the forces of digitalization, globalization and deregulation are driving a revolution in the world economy. What is less well-known is that a simultaneous revolution is underway in how we think about economics. In universities, think tanks and companies around the world, researchers are drawing on fields as diverse as cognitive science, evolutionary theory,and the study of complex adaptive systems to radically re-think our most basic beliefs about economics and the economy. This book is a report from the front lines of this 'seismic shift in the intellectual landscape' with chapters on its implications for strategy, organization, finance, and public policy.

There is a revolution underway in economics and you need to
know about it.
