Research
How intelligence should be owned, what it is worth, and what it can do.
What must stay in human hands.
Research into the institutions of common life: who counts, how value is organised, where law directs its force, and who retains the authority to write the rule.
Four connected works
Common Wealth
One continuous argument across personhood, economics, law and the state. Read together, the four works move through four registers: being, value, force and rule.
Published writing
Essays and releases on personhood, institutions, law and collective agency.
- ArticleThe Intelligence Age Must Be Built RightAs we enter the Intelligence Age, the decisive question is ownership: who owns the institutions that bring intelligence into daily life? Emad Mostaque on Champions, local public-benefit institutions that keep the relationships, value and…

The thesis
How the institutional and technical system is meant to fit together.
What holds value when intelligence is no longer scarce.
A first-principles account of what comes after scarcity, and how intelligence reshapes value, labour and exchange.
The core framework
The Last Economy
When intelligence is no longer scarce, the economy has to be reimagined from first principles. This work takes up how human relevance shifts as intelligence becomes abundant, and what follows from that.
Published writing
The published writing behind Intelligent Economics and The Last Economy.

- ArticleCommon Wealth: Intelligent EconomicsIf machines can make nearly everything, what is left that is scarce? Intelligent Economics is the technical core of Common Wealth. It derives the one structure that bounded choice must take, finds it already running inside RLHF, and follows…
- ArticleThe Last EconomyToday we are releasing The Last Economy, the first book of Intelligent Economics, a unified theory of economics for the Intelligence Age. Your economic life expectancy is shrinking. Not your job. Not your career. Your relevance as a human…
