The Great Reset: How the Post-Crash Economy Will Change the Way We Live and Work
Autor Richard Floridaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2011
From Richard Florida, author of the bestselling books The Rise of the Creative Class and Who’s Your City?, comes a book that frames the economic meltdown of 2008–09 not as a crisis but as an opportunity to “reset.” In doing so, he paints a fascinating picture of what our economy, society, and geography will look like—of how we will work and live—in the future.
This forward-looking analysis provides a framework for post-crash prosperity by exploring:
- Economic History as a Guide: How past crises, from the Long Depression of the 1870s to the Great Depression of the 1930s, provide a blueprint for understanding our own time.
- The New Economic Landscape: An examination of the "spatial fix," detailing the rise of massive, dense megaregions and how they are becoming the new engines of innovation and growth.
- A New Way of Life: Why the age of the "ownership society" is over, and how a move toward renting, mobility, and flexibility will define our future relationship with homes and cars.
- The Future of Work: A look at the fundamental shift from an industrial system to a knowledge-driven creative economy, and what it means for the jobs and skills of tomorrow.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
We've weathered tough times before. History teaches us that periods of "creative destruction," like the Great Depression of the 1930s, also present opportunities to remake our economy and society and to generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity. In The Great Reset, bestselling author and economic development expert Richard Florida provides an engaging and sweeping examination of these previous economic epochs, or "resets," while looking toward the future to identify the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives. He distills the deep forces that alter physical and social landscapes—how and where we live, how we work, how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, how we shape our cities and regions—and shows the ways in which these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities for all of us.
