N2  - Today, the Bay Area is home to the most successful knowledge economy in America, while Los Angeles has fallen progressively farther behind its neighbour to the north and a number of other American metropolises.

So what does? This book challenges many of the conventional notions about economic development and sheds new light on its workings
