The New Geography of Jobs

I really wanted to like this book because it contains commentary on lots of things I care about -- urbanism, systems economics, the tech industry. Unfortunately, I just wound up being frustrated that so many people I know recommended it. To explain why, I'll link to someone else's review, which I 100% agree with: www.goodreads.com/review/show/522882788?book_show_action=true

This is not what I expected, but so much better. Rather than a list of what jobs can be found where, this is an in depth look at the forces that separate places like Silicon Valley from Detroit in terms of opportunity and income. The author also talks in depth about the global workforce differs and competes with our (US) own. This would have been an amazingly useful read my freshman year of college or sooner.
