Change of subject - Economic Development

Interesting pieces on Economic Development in the age of Thinking.
First is a bit long, but good:
"The Rise of the Creative Class" by Richard Florida

The Rise of the Creative Class: Why cities without gays and rock bands are losing the economic development race.


Then there's this by Daniel Pink: Wired so a bit breezier
Wired 13.02: Revenge of the Right Brain
"Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the Conceptual Age - ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion."
