Cities and the Wealth of Nations [RARE BOOKS]

In this eye-opening work of economic theory, Jane Jacobs argues that it is citiesnot nationsthat are the drivers of wealth. Challenging centuries of economic orthodoxy, inCities and the Wealth of Nationsthe 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 citiesand our entire economy.
