Economics of Space

“The shift from public to private priorities in space is especially significant because a widely shared goal among commercial space’s leaders is the achievement of a large-scale, largely self-sufficient, developed space economy…

If such space-economy visions are even partially realized, the implications for society — and economists — will be enormous. After all, it will be our best chance in human history to create and study economic societies from a (nearly) blank slate.”
