Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation
DESCRIPTION :
A timely investigation of the causes of technological and scientific stagnation, and a radical blueprint for accelerating innovation.
āRead this book for the alternative history of our age.ā
āPeter Thiel, investor and author of Zero to One
āA must-read for those who seek to build the future.ā
āMarc Andreessen, cofounder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz
From the Moon landing to the dawning of the atomic age, the decades prior to the 1970s were characterized by the routine invention of transformative technologies at breakneck speed. By comparison, ours is an age of stagnation. Median wage growth has slowed, inequality and income concentration are on the rise, and scientific research has become increasingly expensive and incremental.
Why are we unable to replicate the rate of progress of past decades? What can we do to reinvigorate innovation?
In Boom, Byrne Hobart and Tobias Huber take an inductive approach to the problem. In a series of case studies tracking some of the most significant breakthroughs of the past 100 yearsāfrom the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program to fracking and Bitcoināthey reverse-engineer how transformative progress arises from small groups with a unified vision, vast funding, and surprisingly poor accountability. They conclude that financial bubbles, while often maligned as destructive and destabilizing forces, have in fact been the engine of past breakthroughs and will drive future advances. In other words: Bubbles arenāt all bad.
Integrating insights from economics, philosophy, and history, Boom identifies the root causes of the Great Stagnation and provides a blueprint for accelerating innovation. By decreasing collective risk aversion, overfunding experimental processes, and organizing high-agency individuals around a transcendent mission, bubbles are the key to realizing a future that is radically different from the present. Boom offers a definite and optimistic vision of our futureāand a path to unleash a new era of global prosperity.
