In the spring of 2002, a young professor of economic development published a controversial book about the forces that were reshaping our economies and how companies, communities and people could survive and prosper in uncertain times. Weaving storytelling with reams of cutting-edge research, Richard Florida traced the growing role of creativity in the economy. The idea started a fire. Ten years later, any serious conversation about the creativity, geography, and economic growth must integrate the concept of the Creative Class. Now completely revised and updated, The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited takes a deeper look at the forces reshaping our economy and it gives us a provocative new way to think about why we live as we do today and where we might be headed.
