520    The first comprehensive account of the growing dominance 
       of the intangible economy Early in the twenty-first 
       century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, 
       the major developed economies began to invest more in 
       intangible assets, like design, branding, R&D, or software,
       than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and 
       computers. For all sorts of businesses, from tech firms 
       and pharma companies to coffee shops and gyms, the ability
       to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is 
       increasingly the main source of long-term success. But 
       this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new 
       economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing
       importance of intangible assets has also played a role in 
       some of the big economic changes of the last decade. The 
       rise of intangible investment is, Jonathan Haskel and 
       Stian Westlake argue, an underappreciated cause of 
       phenomena from economic inequality to stagnating 
       productivity. Haskel and Westlake bring together a decade 
       of research on how to measure intangible investment and 
       its impact on national accounts, showing the amount 
       different countries invest in intangibles, how this has 
       changed over time, and the latest thinking on how to 
       assess this. They explore the unusual economic 
       characteristics of intangible investment, and discuss how 
       these features make an intangible-rich economy 
       fundamentally different from one based on tangibles.
