This highly original book provides an engaging and critical
introduction to the knowledge economy. The knowledge economy is a
potent force pervading global and national policy circles. Yet few
people outside the field of economics understand its central ideas
and practices. This book makes these accessible. But it does much
more. It provokes 'conversations' between the knowledge economy and
those marginalized economies that haunt it: the risk, gift,
libidinal and survival economies. These illuminate the knowledge
economy's shortcomings and point to alternative possible systems of
exchange and sets of values. This multi-disciplinary study takes
the knowledge economy out of the hands of the economists and brings
it into creative tension with the ideas of key thinkers from
sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ecology. Illustrating the
benefits of conversing with the ghosts of alternative economies,
this provocative book will unsettle the way in which the knowledge
economy is understood. Groundbreaking and globally applicable, it
has been authored by internationally respected authors and its
conceptual breadth pertains to a range of disciplines and gives it
its wide appeal.
