In this work, Tshilidzi Marwala reanalyzes 18 fundamental principles of economic thought, such as demand and supply, rational choice, information asymmetry, mechanism design, agency theory, comparative advantage, growth, governance, and market efficiency, from an AI perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on economics, artificial intelligence, finance, public policy, and global governance, the book explains how AI is changing productivity, labor markets, inflation, competition, taxation, and the relationships between states, companies, and citizens. It shows that traditional ideas based on scarcity, human labor, limited rationality, and static institutions are gradually being replaced by a modern economic framework driven by intelligent capital, algorithmic coordination, and autonomous systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe outcome is a comprehensive and timely framework for understanding the political economy of the AI era, detailed in analysis, globally oriented, and essential for policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and anyone seeking to understand how intelligence is becoming the primary driver of economic transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eTshilidzi Marwala is the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Rector of the United Nations University, based in Tokyo.
