The Knowledge Economy Summary

The Knowledge Economy by Roberto Mangabeira Unger

A revolutionary practice of production-the knowledge economy-has emerged in our time. It appears in every sector, not just in high-tech industry, but so far only as a series of insular vanguards that exclude the vast majority of workers and businesses. In this book Roberto Mangabeira Unger explores the hidden workings and the transformative potential of the knowledge economy. He describes the radical changes in economic and political institutions, and in ways of thinking, that could bring knowledge-intensive production to the whole economy-and inaugurate a period of accelerated and socially inclusive economic growth.

The Knowledge Economy Reviews

A restless visionary. * New York Times *
A philosophical mind out of the Third World turning the tables, to become a synoptist and seer of the First. -- Perry Anderson
One of the few living philosophers whose thinking has the range of the great philosophers of the past. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
Brazil's answer to John Stuart Mill ... a political philosopher extraordinaire. * Chronicle of Higher Education *
His work may someday make possible a new national romance, and a hitherto undreamt-of national future. -- Richard Rorty
The visionary program this new book sets out for universalizing the knowledge economy is not just a nice-to-have, but necessary. The Knowledge Economy is indispensable as a study of how to remedy the political polarization inequality has brought. -- Martin Sandbu * Financial Times *
An intelligent examination of policy ideas which dare to challenge economic norms. -- Ruth F. Hunt * Morning Star *
Unger's work can offer progressives key resources for exposing the false necessity of the American liberal status quo and thinking constructively about a different progressive vision for the United States. -- Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins * The Nation *
