Economist Moretti at Quail Ridge Books

Economist Enrico Moretti brings us The New Geography of Jobs.  A rising young economist at Berkeley, Moretti argues that where you live will soon determine how successful you are and how it benefits centers of innovation.
 
Book Description from the Quail Ridge Books website:

There are many factors that determine a person’s s uccess in life. We know that intelligence is only a small part of the equation—character traits like self-control, grit, and willpower are also important. Now an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, has found something that might matter even more: geography.
 
In this important and persuasive book, Enrico Moretti argues that a “new geography of jobs” is emerging, and it’s benefiting centers of innovation like San Francisco, Boston, Austin, and Durham. But the winners and losers aren’t necessarily the people you’d expect.
