This book advances a bold and original contribution to economic thought by introducing harnessability as a foundational analytical lens. Moving beyond the traditional preoccupation with control, optimization, and ownership, the book argues that many of the most valuable systems in human society (knowledge, ecosystems, energy flows, digital networks, and even institutions) cannot be fully controlled without being degraded. Through rigorous conceptual reasoning and cross-disciplinary synthesis, the work demonstrates how attempts at total control often collapse value, while systems designed for participation, partial unpredictability, and cooperative engagement generate resilience and shared prosperity. By reframing markets and institutions as mechanisms for aligning with semi-autonomous forces rather than dominating them, the book opens a new paradigm for understanding value creation in an era of complexity, decentralization, and systemic risk.
