      abstract = {This book develops new theoretical perspectives on the  economics and politics of innovation and knowledge in order  to capture new trends in modern capitalism. It shows how  giant corporations establish themselves as intellectual  monopolies and how each of them builds and controls its own  corporate innovation system. It presents an analysis of a  new form of production where Google, Amazon, Facebook,  Apple and Microsoft, and their counterparts in China,  extract value and appropriate intellectual rents through  privileged access to AI algorithms trained by data from  organizations and individuals all around the world. These  companies specific form of production and rent-seeking  takes place at the global level and challenges national  governments trying to regulate intellectual monopolies and  attempting to build stronger national innovation systems.  It is within this context that the authors provide new  insights on the complex interplay between corporate and  national innovation systems by looking at the US-China  conflict, understood as a struggle for global technological  supremacy. The book ends with alternative scenarios of  global governance and advances policy recommendations as  well as calls for social activism. This book will be of  interest to students, academics and practitioners (both  from national states and international organizations) and  professionals working on innovation, digital capitalism and  related topics.
