About

Evan W. Rowe is an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines and the University of Colorado Boulder. His research operates at the intersection of media studies, international relations, and macroeconomics, focusing on the structural mechanics of sovereign power in the 21st century.

Frameworks

Ongoing analysis published at evanwrowe.substack.com, organized around three core frameworks.

Genesis Architecture

A US-driven strategic framework designed to extend global dominance by anchoring the economy to a physical industrial floor — the critical feeder for a new sovereign stack of frontier technologies including AI, quantum computing, synthetic biology, and autonomous robotics.

The Natty Greenback

A thesis on the transition of the dollar into a natural gas-backed currency, positioning US energy exports as physical collateral while leveraging stablecoins as high-velocity digital rails for settlement — ensuring dollar dominance through direct energy sovereignty.

The Blitz Correction

A model for high-velocity structural market shocks designed to liquidate over-financialized assets and force capital back into sovereign, hard-asset sectors.

Book

The Genesis Architecture: The Return of the American Entrepreneurial State
In preparation

In The Genesis Architecture, Dr. Evan W. Rowe provides a cold, macroeconomic audit of how U.S. planners are quietly dismantling the free-market consensus of the globalization era to rebuild American hegemony. Observing the urgent, systemic shift toward state-directed investment and energy sovereignty, the book deconstructs how the architects of modern power now view a return to the post-war industrial playbook not as a political preference, but as a strict, mechanical necessity to counter state-managed rivals and stabilize the foundation of the state.
