Across the world, economic growth and innovation are grinding to a halt.

The world faces dreaded secular stagnation. Productivity growth is slowing. Across developed countries, fertility continues to decline; a population crisis lurks around the corner. We are innovating more slowly: major tech hubs are becoming less attractive, and ideas are getting harder to find. Grand architectural and infrastructural projects, crucial for long-run economic growth, are poorly executed and increasingly expensive. Our cities are congested and decaying. Governments are overridden with bureaucratic hassle and are losing public trust. Even optimism is declining: rates of depression in the U.S. have reached an all-time high.

But this doesn’t have to be the case. We can inject vitality and optimism into our economies with good ideas, sound policies, and effective implementation methods. Join us on our mission to find the best ideas for better innovation in the modern era.
