Intelligent robots are steadily replacing people in the workplace, and pushing the monetary system into its twilight. The author makes a convincing argument that, if we mobilize a new Econoscience now, the new science can develop a revolutionary new economic system, creating the dawn of a new era of economic democracy where everyone participates in the economy, and enjoys a new-found prosperity created by man and robot working together.

In 1620 Francis Bacon's Novum Organum introduced a new scientific method for investigating nature. In 1690 John Locke used the new method to discover how to create a political democracy. In this book the author uses Bacon's scientific method and the trail blazed by Locke to discover how to create an economic democracy.

There's an unresolved dispute over the physical nature of space. It occurs because of what Bacon called our "dull and deceptive human senses." On one hand, space appears empty. This led biblical and modern cosmologists to conclude space is an "empty vacuum." But, when astrophysicists from Newton to Einstein studied space, they found it exhibits physical behaviors - i.e. it carries light and heat. This led them to conclude space is an invisible substance called "the ether." The author explores the ether dispute, and the pressing need to resolve it scientifically.
