Boom

"Boom" explores the causes of scientific and technological stagnation, contrasting the rapid innovations of the past with the slower progress of today. Using case studies of major breakthroughs over the last century, the authors analyze how small, focused groups with ample funding and a shared vision have historically driven transformative change, often supported by financial bubbles. Integrating insights from multiple disciplines, the book offers a provocative blueprint for rekindling innovation and shaping a more prosperous future.
