The Big Bet on the Emerging Space Economy

#AI #BET #China #economy #growth #Infrastructure #real #Value

The space economy has surpassed $600 billion in annual value, with some projecting it will reach a trillion by the 2030s. Jonathan Panter is joined by Joseph Yaffe (Cowboy Space), Brian Weeden (The Aerospace Corporation), and Dan Wald (Booz Allen) to weigh where the real growth is. They discuss how AI infrastructure is blurring the line between the space economy and the regular economy, the regulatory tangle, the leap toward autonomous constellations of hundreds of thousands of satellites, competition with China, and the dual-use risks of data centers in orbit.Image: Giuseppe Donatiello via Wikimedia Commons.

ATHENS — As China embraced capitalism, its leading universities adopted mainstream Western textbooks to mold their students’ thinking about the economy. “Most of my colleagues pay only lip service to Marxism,” an economics professor in one of China’s top economics departments confessed to me. “Only a tiny minority take Marx seriously.” That was two years ago. Today, the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is giving Chinese Marxist economics a mighty boost. Chinese Marxists have long feared that the country’s capitalist turn would lead it into the “rent trap” familiar from the North Atlantic economies: a period of asset-price inflation, a rapid slowdown, stagnation, deindustrialization, and social discord. When competition in the productive sectors drives profit rates down, rent-yielding property becomes more attractive to investors seeking the greatest risk-weighted return. The more wealth chases rents, the higher asset prices rise, and the faster wealth moves from industry to the rentier sector. Rent traps hollow out industry and turn once-proud industrial power
