Future Economic Technology

FROM CHAPT 1: It has been shown recently in my work that golden ages have followed a particular path of inheritance from the Chinese concept of the dead ancestor and the venerated family member. Within Europe, Chinese knowledge was regarded with suspicion, and the concepts were treated as superstitions which had the power of philosophy. Religions converted the same dichotomy in the West into a division between the abstract and the material. Most of this text is a meaningful, exceedingly well-written, and systematic exposition on the concepts of exponential knowledge and exponential ...

Americans are measuring the wrong war and using the wrong scoreboard. For years, the U.S. China debate has focused on headlines: tariffs, diplomacy, and who invents the next breakthrough. But national power is built on something quieter and harder to rebuild: industrial ecosystems, supply-chain chokepoints, and the ability to scale technology into mass-market reality. This book makes a controversial argument and tests it with data: the United States has already lost key dimensions of the economic, trade, and technology contest with China, and the American public does not yet grasp how far ...

In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery, and is soon to do the same for radiologists.

Artificial intelligence isn’t arriving all at once. It’s being absorbed piece by piece. As a tool. A shortcut. A productivity gain. Something helpful enough that refusing it starts to feel irresponsible. None of that is false. And none of it is neutral. The AI Con is not a book about sentient machines, killer robots, or speculative doomsday scenarios. It is an examination of the deal already being made, quietly, rationally, and without ceremony between speed, scale, and human agency. Drawing from real-world business systems, infrastructure decisions, labor economics, and governance ...

The world is changing, but not always in ways that are easy to understand. As artificial intelligence systems become more capable, they are beginning to influence how work is performed, how decisions are made, and how information is interpreted. These changes do not follow a simple path. They unfold through a mix of technology, human behavior, and economic systems, often creating uncertainty rather than clear outcomes. The Age of Intelligent Systems offers a calm and structured way to think about these changes. Instead of focusing on predictions or extreme scenarios, this book explores ...
