The Invisible Hand and the Weightless Economy

CEP Occasional Papers from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: As modern economies grow, production and consumption shift towards economic value that reside in bits and bytes, and away from that embedded in atoms and molecules. This paper discusses the implications of such changes for the nature of ongoing growth in advanced economies and for the dynamics of earnings and income distributions - polarization, inequality - across people within societies.
