The Competitiveness of Nations in a Global Knowledge-Based Economy-Ideological Evolution (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

My objective is to deepen debate about the competitiveness of nations in a glo-bal knowledge-based economy. I first demonstrate the inadequacies of the Standard Model of economics, the last ideology standing after the Mar-ket-Marx Wars. Second, I apply trans-disciplinary induction to acquire 'know-ledge about knowledge' redefining 'ideology' as commensurable concepts sha-red across knowledge domains and practices. Third, I define knowledge as noun, verb, form and content in etymology, psychology, epistemology & ped-agogy, law and economics. Fourth, I consider the Nation-State, the shif-ting sands of sovereignty on which it stands and its role as curator, facilitator, patron, architect and engineer of the national knowledge-base. Fifth, I pre-sent a production function in which all inputs, outputs and coefficients are know-ledge-based. I demonstrate competitiveness as Darwinian win/lose is in-a-dequate not accounting for mutualism of symbionts and environmental change then proposing fitness as the appropriate criterion. Finally, I consider com-parative advantage given differing national knowledge endowments. The book is addressed all persons interested in the knowledge-based e-co-nom-y.
