Raisonner sur 2050 est une nécessité pratique, car l’histoire est chose mouvante, flexible, il est impossible de croire qu’en 2050 elle sera identique à celle que nous connaissons : les centres d’intérêt, les manières de connaître, les méthodes seront bien différents (il suffit de saisir les changements pour les années 1950-2000). Aussi bien une prospective 2050 oblige- t-elle à jeter un regard autre sur notre présent, un regard libre, assuré, et à pressentir des mutations dont souvent, par prudence, on préfère ne pas parler. Ces quinze leçons cherchent à esquisser les mutations d’ici à 2050 de quelques disciplines (l’histoire de la bureaucratie, l’histoire économique, l’histoire sociale)t à analyser les changements probables du système (par exemple pour la formation, l’ingénierie historique, les archives, la communication). Ces esquisses à l’échelle de 2050 permettent de saisir les zones d’incertitude, les facteurs d’évolution, elles montrent aussi ce qu’il serait important de faire ; elles introduisent à une vision différente de l’histoire, et François Monnier dans sa préface explique bien le sens de ces explorations, qui sont propres à susciter l’inquiétude : réfléchir sur l’historien de 2050 n’est pas innocent.

The global financial crisis of 2008 revealed the damage done by unchecked housing speculation, yet in the ensuing years, the use of architecture as an investment tool has only accelerated, heightening inequality and contributing to worldwide financial instability. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in our cities, functioning as speculative wealth storage for the superrich, and cavernous "iceberg" homes extend architectural assets many stories below street level. Meanwhile, communities around the globe are blighted by zombie and ghost urbanism, marked by unoccupied neighborhoods and abandoned housing developments. In Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin, Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism changes not only architectural forms, but the very nature of our cities and societies. From Ireland's devastated housing estates, to the chic luxury apartments of architect Rafael Viñoly's 432 Park Avenue, Soules demonstrates how investment imperatives shape what and how we build. Photos and drawings of architectural phenomena that have changed the way we live make the urgency of these issues even more apparent.
