Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How It Is Revolutionizing Our World
We’ve tried a government spending spree and learned it doesn’t work. Now is the time to rededicate our country to the pursuit of free market capitalism, before we’re buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But how do we navigate between government spending that’s too big to sustain and financial institutions that are “too big to fail?” In his new book, George Gilder proposes a bold new theory on how capitalism produces wealth and how our economy can regain its vitality and its growth.

Very interesting
Gilder is without peer on the essence & dynamics of what makes economies function and the underlying paradigm of economics. I haven't come across someone with the ability to move from philosophy to practicality on the subject matter. Gilder has honorary doctoral degrees , worked in think tanks, written a breadth of books and has been a longtime investment advisor, money manager and venture capitalist. Those who have a depth of interest in the philosophy of economics and the practicality of innovation and investment will find Gilder enormously engaging and insightful whether they agree with him or not. His integration of computer science and economics is astounding and cause for much consideration. The current economic consensus is bankrupt and a better paradigm is called for. Gilder is providing that platform for a new economics, the product of a 40 year journey in economics, science and technology and entrepreneurship.
Research foundation know who are you listening to.
jesus christ, this is painful to watch, I may agree with them 100%, but it just comes off like a snl skit that runs near the very end of the show when you're trying to stay awake for the 2nd band performance (do they even do that anymore?) and then this comes on and you say, 'eff it, i'll watch a beatles reunion with paul and ringo some other time'
did this guy know he would be giving a presentation today? He rambles on like it was just sprung on him 5 minutes ago….
Seems the information economy and innovation have gravitated to the finance sector at the expense of everything else.
If Gilder's understanding of the economy is at the level of his understanding of computer science, Turing machines and Godel's theorem, then he is completely clueless.
