  2. Final session in #economicsfest now starting: Will the Fourth Industrial Revolution Bypass the Home of the First? with Giuliana Battisti, Jonathan Haskel, Richard Jones, Maria Savona and Rory Cellan-Jones (chair)  http://www.ideasfestival.co.uk/events/will-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-bypass-the-home-of-the-first/ 
  3. .@RichardALJones : what's happening now isn't a new industrial revolution, but still a huge change: from mass production to mass customisation; blurring of products & services. #economicsfest
  4. Richard Jones at #economicsfest: fantastic technological process is real; but stagnation is real as well.
  5. Jones: technological change isn't translating to greatly improved living standards. UK in particular has problems reaping benefits of its excellent research. #economicsfest
  6. Haskel: current movement is from investing in tangible assets like machines to intangibles like data sets. #economicsfest
  7. Will UK miss out on the Fourth Industrial Revolution? expert colleague @BBCRoryCJ looks for answers #economicsfest https://t.co/PSQ06aBrgz

  8. .@DianeCoyle1859 : UK still has excellent research but less willingness to invest in its research than in past eras. #economicsfest
  9. Coyle: to repeat success of Victorian era, we need to think like the Victorians: bold public and private investment; active role of government in creating conditions for innovation. #economicsfest
  10. .@maria_savona : private sector is reluctant to make the bold, long term investments in new technology, hence public investment needed too. #economicsfest
  11. Question at #economicsfest: what should I study at university for success in the intangible economy? Engineering, economics & ethics?
