この電子書籍について
“A timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them—and how policymakers can learn from that.” —Barack Obama
We’re used to thinking of the United States in opposing terms: red versus blue, haves versus have-nots. But today there are three Americas. At one extreme are the brain hubs—cities like San Francisco, Boston, and Durham—with workers who are among the most productive, creative, and best paid on the planet. At the other extreme are former manufacturing capitals, which are rapidly losing jobs and residents. The rest of America could go either way.
For the past thirty years, the three Americas have been growing apart at an accelerating rate. This divergence is one of the most important developments in the history of the United States. But the winners and losers aren’t necessarily who you’d expect.
Enrico Moretti’s groundbreaking research shows that you don’t have to be a scientist or an engineer to thrive in one of the brain hubs. Taxi drivers, teachers, nurses, and other local service jobs are created at a ratio of five-to-one in the brain hubs, raising salaries and standard of living for all. Dealing with this split—supporting growth in the hubs while arresting the decline elsewhere—is the challenge of the century, and The New Geography of Jobs lights the way.
“Brilliant.” —Forbes
“Mr. Moretti says the data support the argument that technology innovators are one of the most important engines of job creation in the US” —Jessica E. Vascellaro, Wall Street Journal
“Excellent” —The National Review
“A clear and insightful account of the economic forces that are shaping America.” —The New Republic
