About the book
The existing theories of the firm are based on the classical inputs and fiat money as a medium exchange as per defining the organizational form of the firm. This theory canvasses a very wide landscape of the market exchange resting on the accepted types of inputs of production, the medium of exchange, financial institutions and the typical ways of regulating this economic exchange when markets fail to provide efficiency and equity. In this book, the author aligns these theories with the current facts and changes. The book covers a clear explanation of artificial intelligence, its limitations and performance related characteristics, adverse selection of such digital inputs and their managers, the relevant under-performance of digital inputs, maintenance issues and costs, economies of coding, the introduction of digital currencies and their impact on resource allocation, financial institutions and policy design, organizing the economic activity and fluid firm boundaries, economies of scope, entry barriers and high-tech companies, a post-modern approach to anti-trust policies, towards a new theory of investment across the globe and the relevance of core institutions in defining income allocation.The book also sheds light on digital security issues from an informed and technical point of view. This book intends to cover all transforming technologies such as bio, nano, nuclear technologies in juxtaposition to the digital in and outputs in attempting to provide a long and neglected understanding of our post-modern market place.
