The Great Progression: 2025-2050

Harper, 2027

America is about to reinvent itself for the fourth time in its history—and this time, the whole world could follow this path toward abundance. Tech expert Peter Leyden lays out a big-picture strategy for how America can harness AI to remake its economy and society, cracking open a model other nations could follow over the next 25 years. It's a new grand narrative for our times, one that fits technology, science, economics, politics and geopolitics together into a single epic story about how we can solve our many challenges. Leyden situates this narrative in history. Every 80 years, almost like clockwork, America has reinvented itself—at the founding starting around 1785, coming out of the Civil War in 1865, after World War II in 1945. Now it's happening again, beginning in 2025. The same elements that drove those earlier reinventions have converged once more, setting up a widespread era of progress and a vast economic boom that will play out for decades. This time, three tech revolutions are arriving at once: the AI Age, the Clean Energy Age, and the Bioengineering Age. They are enabling a profound transformation that parallels the civilization-scale changes in The Enlightenment of the 18th century, which invented the core institutions of the modern world that are breaking down today. Here you will find the antidote to doom and gloom—rogue AI, climate collapse, polarized politics, a new cold war with China. Leyden reframes the story, offering a persuasive and positive portrait of what’s actually happening, what's coming next, what’s possible to achieve and what we should do about it now. The Great Progression: 2025–2050 will shape the conversation heading into 2028, a moment when America must decide how it meets this historic opportunity. This inspiring book makes the case that abundance for all is possible. It’s our choice. Ten Reasons to Read this Book 1. The AI Economy & Long Boom: Learn what you need to know about artificial intelligence and how it will boost productivity rates, drive economic growth rates well above historical norms, and lead to widespread prosperity that is needed to raise the prospects for all. 2. A Society that’s 10 Times Better: Understand how the scaling of our three world-historic, general-purpose technologies could bring a step change of 10x improvements in education, healthcare, and the state capacity of governments. 3. A Healthy Process of Reinvention: Get reassured that the breakdown and dismantling of old systems and institutions are just the beginning stages of a healthy process of reinventing new systems much better aligned with future needs. 4. A New Politics of Abundance: See how the Abundance Movement in tech and policy circles are aligning and could scale toward a new political supermajority that could transform America and spread a 21st-century political playbook through the world. 5. A Positive Reframe of the Tech World: Get straightened out about the real politics of Silicon Valley beyond the minority of vocal right-wing Tech Titans to the vast majority of left-of-center tech workers who would support more fundamental economic system change. 6. A New Geopolitical Grand Strategy: Encounter a new foreign policy that sees China not as an implacable enemy but increasingly becoming aligned towards solving common planetary challenges and developmental goals. 7. The Potential for Civilization-Scale Changes: Open up to the possibilities that the scaling of AI over the coming decades could bring profound but beneficial changes to the core institutions of the modern world like financial capitalism, representative democracy and the nation state. 8. The Forest for the Trees: Make sense of all the seemingly disparate developments happening simultaneously in a wide array of fields across many different regions of the world and see them all as part of the same epic story of our times. 9.
