Summary
Capitalism is dying. Profits soar while inequality rises and innovation stalls. Something has to give. From the bestselling author of Big Data, a prediction for how data will revolutionize the market economy and make cash, banks and big companies obsolete. In modern history, the story of capitalism has been a story of firms and financiers. That's all going to change thanks to the big data revolution. Data is replacing money as the driver of market behaviour, and big finance and big companies will be replaced by small groups who make markets instead of making things: think Uber instead of Ford, or Airbnb instead of Holiday Inn. This is the dawn of the data capitalism era. Will it be an age of prosperity or of calamity? This book provides the indispensable roadmap for securing a better future. -- Back cover
