Summary
Your economic life expectancy is shrinking. This is not a recession. It is a phase transition. Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI and Intelligent Internet, calls it the Intelligence Inversion: AI turns human intellect into an abundant commodity, breaking systems built on scarcity. Profits reach records while purpose ebbs; the signal of a paradigm collapse.
We have a Thousand-Day Window to choose among three futures: the comfort of Digital Feudalism, the fear of the Great Fragmentation, or the living partnership of Human Symbiosis.
The Last Economy is a build plan for the third path. Drawing on physics, complexity, and computer science, Mostaque outlines systems that treat abundance as a feature and protect human agency at scale. In this world, worth decouples from economic utility. Value flows from creativity, judgment, and care. The work ahead is a civilization-scale software update that turns this blueprint into code, policy, and culture.Book information
