overall enjoyed this, and it’s def worth a revisit in light of remote work debates found it both accessible & data-driven: - agglomeration: geographic clustering = growth - no panaceas: innovation only exists within ecosystems - predicts HQ2, ISAs! caveats: - economic growth is not the endpoint of progress/wellbeing - no attentional to environmental factors, which is ?? given limited and dwindling natural resources - generally not much intersectional analysis remaining questions: - when does concentration lead to fragility (interdependence) vs. resilience (redundancies)? - how can we create better markets for R&D? or for cities, to avoid the pitfalls of HQ2? but for a book you can finish in a day, a worthwhile perspective, esp if you keep in mind it’s one piece of the puzzle
