Book Review: ‘Knowledge and Power’ by George Gilder

Original Article

This article, published in the Wall Street Journal, is a review of Discovery Institute Senior Fellow George Gilder’s book “Knowledge and Power”:

Individuals like Ford and Jobs are key figures in the economic paradigm that George Gilder lays out in “Knowledge and Power.” He calls for an “information theory of capitalism” in which the economy is driven by a dynamic marketplace, with information widely (and freely) distributed.
