Introduction: America's Crossroads
Imagine a United States with one billion people. It sounds audacious, even impossible. But as I argue in this book, it's not only possible – it's necessary for America's future. We stand at a crossroads. Our nation faces relative decline as countries like China and India grow in population and economic might. The question is: Will we embrace greatness or resign ourselves to second place? I'm not proposing we reach one billion overnight. Rather, I'm advocating for a mindset shift – a renewed commitment to growth, dynamism, and American exceptionalism. By thinking bigger about our population and potential, we can tackle pressing issues from climate change to housing affordability while securing America's place as a global leader. Some may balk at such ambitious growth. But America is far from full. Many of our great cities have fewer residents today than decades ago. We have ample room and resources to welcome more people and build thriving communities. With smart policies and planning, we can grow sustainably while improving quality of life for all. In this book, I'll lay out how we can get there – through boosting birth rates, welcoming immigrants, and reimagining our cities and infrastructure. It's an optimistic vision, but one I believe is vital for America's future. So let's dive in and explore what a nation of one billion Americans could look like.
