From a rising young economist, an examination of innovation and success, and where to find them in America.
An unprecedented redistribution of jobs, population, and wealth is under way in America, and it is likely to accelerate in the years to come. America’s new economic map shows growing differences, not just between people but especially between communities. In this important and persuasive book, U.C. Berkeley economist Enrico Moretti provides a fresh perspective on the tectonic shifts that are reshaping America’s labor market—from globalization and income inequality to immigration and technological progress—and how these shifts are affecting our communities. Drawing on a wealth of stimulating new studies, Moretti uncovers what smart policies may be appropriate to address the social challenges that are arising.
We’re used to thinking of the United States in dichotomous terms: red versus blue, black versus white, haves versus have-nots. But today there are three Americas. At one extreme are the brain hubs—cities like San Francisco, Boston, Austin, and Durham—with a well-educated labor force and a strong innovation sector. Their workers are among the most productive, creative, and best paid on the planet. At the other extreme are cities once dominated by traditional manufacturing, which are declining rapidly, losing jobs and residents. In the middle are a number of cities that could go either way. For the past thirty years, the three Americas have been growing apart at an accelerating rate. This divergence is one the most important recent developments in the United States and is causing growing geographic disparities is all other aspects of our lives, from health and longevity to family stability and political engagement.
But the winners and losers aren’t necessarily who you’d expect. Moretti’s groundbreaking research shows that you don’t have to be a scientist or an engineer to thrive in one of these brain hubs. Among the beneficiaries are the workers who support the "idea-creators"—the carpenters, hair stylists, personal trainers, lawyers, doctors, teachers and the like. In fact, Moretti has shown that for every new innovation job in a city, five additional non-innovation jobs are created, and those workers earn higher salaries than their counterparts in other cities.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. As the global economy shifted from manufacturing to innovation, geography was supposed to matter less. But the pundits were wrong. A new map is being drawn—the inevitable result of deep-seated but rarely discussed economic forces. These trends are reshaping the very fabric of our society. Dealing with this split—supporting growth in the hubs while arresting the decline elsewhere—will be the challenge of the century, and The New Geography of Jobs lights the way.

很愉快的阅读体验。Moretti是一流的经济学家,讲故事的能力也是一流的。加上常驻湾区,硅谷的例子真是手到擒来,还不忘时常黑一下Italy。理论和发现不算新,但现在面对川普上台的现实,只觉得字字都戳到了美国社会的痛处。总结:21世纪是人才的世纪,有大牛的地方才有未来。因为有star才有创新,创新多的地方会吸引其他企业,从而有产业集聚,从而走上良性循环;而没有走上良性循环的地方只能面对衰落。美国的落... 很愉快的阅读体验。Moretti是一流的经济学家,讲故事的能力也是一流的。加上常驻湾区,硅谷的例子真是手到擒来,还不忘时常黑一下Italy。理论和发现不算新,但现在面对川普上台的现实,只觉得字字都戳到了美国社会的痛处。总结:21世纪是人才的世纪,有大牛的地方才有未来。因为有star才有创新,创新多的地方会吸引其他企业,从而有产业集聚,从而走上良性循环;而没有走上良性循环的地方只能面对衰落。美国的落后/分裂源自人力资本不足,特别是高中教育的问题。政府有很多工作要做。移民不是问题,移民的质量才是问题。 (展开)

感觉说来说去就把 innovative jobs multiplayer 和 thick market 两个有用的点摊开来反复讲了半天,例子和剖析都不算多深刻,一篇文章能写完的东西写了一整本书。而且有声书版的男朗读者抑扬顿挫方差过大音量也时大时小,给倍速听造成了极大障碍,本书内容也不需要(并且这个朗读者也没读出这种效果)感情充沛,大概是我听过功能性最差的有声书朗读了。

labor看世界的角度真有意思,而这本书也改变了我对于科技公司过于批判的看法。1. 全球化和科技进步注定制造业的衰退是必然,但替代的创新行业其实对劳工市场有利。big tech和中国都在背锅 2. 二十一世纪最重要的资源就是人力资源。教育和移民尤为重要 3. 美国的地域不平等是不可逆的 但也不是无法改变的。然而美国目前short sighted的政治让改变很难发生 4. gentrificatio... labor看世界的角度真有意思,而这本书也改变了我对于科技公司过于批判的看法。1. 全球化和科技进步注定制造业的衰退是必然,但替代的创新行业其实对劳工市场有利。big tech和中国都在背锅 2. 二十一世纪最重要的资源就是人力资源。教育和移民尤为重要 3. 美国的地域不平等是不可逆的 但也不是无法改变的。然而美国目前short sighted的政治让改变很难发生 4. gentrification也是可以用政策控制住的,比如西雅图 5. cluster从经济上讲非常高效。因此未来地域之间的不平等会继续加剧 6. 中国制造并不是什么好事 中国还和美国差十几/几十年呢 (展开)
