Yet, in 1970, experts would have predicted that L.A. would outpace San Francisco in population, income, economic power, and influence. The usual factors used to explain urban growth - luck, immigration, local economic policies, and the pool of skilled labour - do not account for the contrast between the two cities and their fates. So what does? This book challenges many of the conventional notions about economic development and sheds new light on its workings.Innovation and technology in the world economy.Economic developmentCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaEconomic developmentCaliforniaLos Angeles Metropolitan AreaSan Francisco Bay Area (Calif.)Economic conditionsLos Angeles Metropolitan Area (Calif.)Economic conditionsEconomic developmentEconomic development330.9494/61Storper Michael, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut144847Storper MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828382303321The rise and fall of urban economies4027276UNINA
