The Rise of the Creative Class
I listened to an interesting speech on my Axim on my way back and forth to work yesterday by Richard Florida. Talking about the rise in creative jobs and how we're shifting from an industrial age to information/creative age. About 25 minutes in he mentions 2 boys who grew up in central Indiana, went to Purdue, and then moved out to California. The classic "brain drain" they talk so much about around here. Florida claims we need to prepare for brain circulation. Makes sense when you think about it in an economic sense. The economy is doing "better" when we're all giving our money back and forth to each other but its "worse" when I keep all my money, even though I might have the same amount of money.
