Basically makes the argument that cities, not states and nations, are the main economic engine.

Not sure how Jacobs' work is regarded outside of "Death and Life of Great American Cities," and I'm also not informed enough to comment on them with any credibility.

Still, I love the way her books make me think about cities. Her enthusiasm for cities, even in writing on economics, is really great.
