Keys to the City: How Economics, Institutions, Social Interactions, and Politics Shape Development

摘要

There are several ways in which an economist with interests like mine can speculate that institutions, social interactions, and politics shape urban development. But, Michael Storper promises the reader of Keys to the City, something between unlocking the cities' secrets and ensuring their success. A title must kindle a reader's interest for sure, and in many ways, discriminating readers will likely not be disappointed by this book. But, the reader should also be warned that the book is opinionated, which, again, does help with attracting interest.
