Cities and the Wealth of Nations

<p>In this eye-opening work of economic theory Jane Jacobs argues that it is cities--not nations--that are the drivers of wealth. Challenging centuries of economic orthodoxy in <i>Cities and the Wealth of Nations</i> the beloved author contends that healthy cities are constantly evolving to replace imported goods with locally-produced alternatives spurring a cycle of vibrant economic growth. Intelligently argued and drawing on examples from around the world and across the ages here Jacobs radically changes the way we view our cities--and our entire economy. </p>
