In 'Cities and the Wealth of Nations,' Jane Jacobs answers countless questions about the economic functions, powers, and limitations of cities, ultimately maintaining that a nation's maintenance and change sits squarely on the shoulders of its cities. Drawing on global examples throughout history, Jacobs shows how economic life expands, develops, declines, and decays, with cities as the leading player in virtually every contributing aspect.
