New Economy/knowledge Economy critique needed

======================================================================
Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
======================================================================

Could anyone please point me in the direction of a good critique of the
notion of the New Economy.  I am going over the bs that was pumped out by
the propagandists for the Creative Industries - folks like Hartley and
Leadbeater.  It is all sounds  dated post 2008.

comradely

Gary

Also, his book, After the New Economy.

'New Capitalism?'  by Kevin Doogan is a brilliant book...
