Prof. Mayer-Schönberger will present his new book “Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data” (with Thomas Ramge; in German: “Das Digital: Markt, Wertschöpfung und Gerechtigkeit im Datenkapitalismus”). In modern history, the story of capitalism has been a story of firms and financiers. That’s all going to change thanks to the Big Data revolution. As Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, bestselling author of Big Data, and Thomas Ramge, who writes for The Economist, show, data is replacing money as the driver of market behavior. Big finance and big companies will be replaced by small groups and individual actors who make markets instead of making things. This is the dawn of the era of data capitalism. Will it be an age of prosperity or of calamity? Who will benefit and receive the “digital dividend”? This book provides the indispensable roadmap for securing a better future.
The participants have the option of purchasing the book after the talk, and it will be a pleasure for Prof. Mayer-Schönberger to sign your personal edition.
Viktor Mayer-Schönberger is Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford. His research focuses on the role of information in a networked economy. Earlier he spent ten years on the faculty of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
He has published eleven books, including the international bestseller “Big Data” (HMH, co-authored with Kenneth Cukier, translated into more than 20 languages).
Prof. Mayer-Schönberger studied in Salzburg, Harvard and at the London School of Economics. In 1986 he founded Ikarus Software, a company focusing on data security and developed the Virus Utilities, which became the best-selling Austrian software product. He was voted Top-5 Software Entrepreneur in Austria in 1991 and Person of the Year for the State of Salzburg in 2000. In 2014 he received a World Technology Award in the law category for his work.
He and his work have been featured in (among others) New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, Nature, Science, BBC, The Guardian, Le Monde, and Die Zeit.
