bookshelves: avoid, capitalism

good god. richard florida presents the case that a new "creative class" is emerging in the u.s., which is going to usher in a new era of prosperity and creativity.

total lack of understanding of the human effects of globalization, almost entirely from an elite privileged perspective, almost completely worthless.

Andrew Ward so then how do you feel about 1 billion people coming out of poverty by 2025? Maybe you've read too much anti-globalization literature and it's made you cynical. I've been there.
