The Rise of the Creative Class
Ten years ago we were having a conversation about how everything was getting more and more automated. I said the only thing that would be of value would be talent because you cannot automate that. Now someone has written a book about this phenomenon – The Rise of the Creative Class by Richard Florida – where he links urban economic development to gays and rock bands and creativity. Wala! There you have it. Unfortunately, he puts New Orleans at the bottom of the list.
