知识经济学是经济学的一个迅速崛起的分支学科，在本书中，它从未得到过全面而连贯的论述。Dominique Foray分析了我们经济活动的深刻概念和结构转变，这些转变导致了逐步向知识密集型活动的转变。这一转变是一个长期趋势-以知识为基础的投资和活动的扩大-与一场从根本上改变了知识和信息的生产和传播的技术革命相互碰撞的结果。这本书的重点是知识经济学的双重性质：它作为一门学科的出现（福雷称之为“知识经济学”）和特定时期经济活动增长和组织的历史发展（“知识经济”）。该书在分析经济转型和审视学科工具和概念之间交替进行，首先讨论“知识”作为一种经济商品和知识经济的历史发展。然后，它为审议所提出的问题制定了一个概念框架。其余章节讨论的主题包括知识生产、编纂和灌输的形式，有效生产知识的激励措施和机构（包括讨论私人市场和“开放”来源），以及作为一种新的组织能力的知识管理。最后，本书讨论了不同部门知识发展不平衡所提出的政策问题，以及需要找到从基本上私有化的知识革命中恢复知识的公共层面的方法。
The economics of knowledge is a rapidly emerging subdiscipline of economics that has never before been given the comprehensive and cohesive treatment found in this book. Dominique Foray analyzes the deep conceptual and structural transformation of our economic activities that has led to a gradual shift to knowledge-intensive activities. This transformation is the result of the collision of a longstanding trend -- the expansion of knowledge-based investments and activities -- with a technological revolution that radically altered the production and transmission of knowledge and information. The book focuses on the dual nature of the economics of knowledge: its emergence as a discipline (which Foray calls "the economics of knowledge") and the historical development of a particular period in the growth and organization of economic activities ("the knowledge-based economy").The book, which alternates between analysis of the economic transformation and examination of the tools and concepts of the discipline, begins by discussing "knowledge" as an economic good and the historical development of the knowledge-based economies. It then develops a conceptual framework for considering the issues raised. Topics considered in the remaining chapters include forms of knowledge production, codification and infusion, incentives and institutions for the efficient production of knowledge (including discussions of private markets and "open" sources), and knowledge management as a new organizational capability. Finally, the book addresses policy concerns suggested by the uneven development of knowledge across different sectors and by the need to find ways of reclaiming the public dimension of knowledge from an essentially privatized knowledge revolution.
