[phd.students.socioeco] The Economic Development Curmudgeon Speaks!

[Ann Hartell]

A long, but interesting read from the Curmudgeon this week.  This is an 
extended review of Joel ("I *heart* suburbs") Kotkin's latest book 'The 
New Class Conflict'.   It is very USA-centric, but there are some 
interesting points about Gentry Liberalism, elite academics, 
post-industrial oligarchs, climate change policy, and even, at the end, 
a call for transdisciplinary work to solve society's problems.  A bit 
grim, but just right for this weather.

Im Nebel,
