The Genesis Mission: America’s Next Great Scientific Mobilization
Posted December 11, 2025
The United States has just launched one of the most ambitious national science initiatives in modern history — the Genesis Mission.
At first glance, it may sound like just another federal research program. It is not.
The Genesis Mission represents something far larger: a decisive shift in how the US intends to compete in the defining technologies of the 21st century — artificial intelligence, quantum science, advanced manufacturing, energy systems, semiconductors, and biotechnology.
This is not incremental.
This is strategic national mobilization.
In this week’s Macro Watch video, I explain:
- Why the Genesis Mission is not merely “important,” but may prove indispensable to the future prosperity and national security of the United States
- How it fits directly into a much larger national strategy, alongside the White House’s AI Action Plan (July 2025) and the FY 2027 R&D Priorities Memorandum (September 2025)
- Why this moment signals that America is finally prepared to think big again about science, technology, and national power
- And why the outcome of this effort will shape global economic, technological, and military leadership for decades to come
At stake is nothing less than whether the United States will lead the next great wave of scientific and technological progress — or be superseded and possibly subjugated by China.
The Genesis Mission also holds a very personal meaning for me.
For more than a decade, I have argued that the US government must take the lead in financing and shaping the industries that will define the future. That conviction guided my book, The Money Revolution: How To Finance The Next American Century. What we are now witnessing is the first true institutionalization of that vision inside the federal government.
The Genesis Mission is not a one-off announcement. It is part of a coordinated national strategy now unfolding across the White House, the Department of Energy, and America’s national laboratories — with the private sector deeply embedded into execution.
This is how nations win technological eras.
And this is exactly what we analyze in the new Macro Watch video.
