Item Number: 59026

Washington, D.C: Regnery Publishing, 2013.

First edition of Gilder’s work, which introduces an all-new paradigm-shifting theory of capitalism. Octavo, original half cloth. Lengthily inscribed by George Gilder on the front free endpaper. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

In Knowledge and Power, George Gilder proposes a bold new theory on how capitalism produces wealth and how our economy can regain its vitality and its growth. Gilder breaks away from the supply-side model of economics to present a new economic paradigm: the epic conflict between the knowledge of entrepreneurs on one side, and the blunt power of government on the other. The knowledge of entrepreneurs, and their freedom to share and use that knowledge, are the sparks that light up the economy and set its gears in motion. The power of government to regulate, stifle, manipulate, subsidize or suppress knowledge and ideas is the inertia that slows those gears down, or keeps them from turning at all. One of the twentieth century’s defining economic minds has returned with a new philosophy to carry us into the twenty-first.
