The Downturnaround just about wept with joy while reading "How the Crash Will Reshape America," Richard Florida's fantastic cover story in the March issue of the Atlantic.
Florida, who is a scholar and the author of The Rise of the Creative Class, has become semi-famous in recent years for arguing that the U.S. economy is now based on the development and exchange of ideas, and that the best places for that to happen are those that attract and coddle creative, educated people. Places, in other words, like New York.
Naturally, we've always liked that about him. (We also like his name.) And now we like him even more, because his Atlantic piece devotes special attention to New York.
