Explore these insights to understand the current underlying health and resilience of the global economy, and tune into McKinsey’s LinkedIn Live on Tuesday at 5 a.m. ET for a session on Financing Resilient Economies and Societies, featuring McKinsey global managing partner Bob Sternfels at #WEF22.

Plan for success

Forward Thinking on the transformative role of intangible assets in companies and economies with Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake

“William Blake talked about the dark Satanic mills, these inhuman pieces of tangible capital. Intangible capital is in some ways about what makes us human. It’s about ideas, and it’s about relationships. It’s about expressiveness. Some people may ask whether we should be making that the basis of the economy. But we would argue that this is actually making those things that matter to us as humans more central to our thriving.”
