The AI Agent Economy
Why the Next Trillion-Dollar Industry Has No Employees
We are entering an economy where AI agents are the primary workforce — not assistants to humans, but autonomous actors that build, transact, monitor, and decide.
The businesses that win won't have the best agents. They'll control the dependency layer — the invisible infrastructure agents cannot function without.
This book names that layer before the world sees it, makes 15 falsifiable predictions about how the agent economy unfolds by 2030, and gives founders a practitioner's playbook to build within it.
