520    "In this iconoclastic work, which profoundly upsets the way we think about wealth and poverty and the rise and decline of nations and empires, Jane Jacobs argues that virtually all economic life, no matter how geographically remote from cities, depends on cities to maintain it or change it. Productive cities, she explains, create prosperous mixed economies in their own surrounding regions, but shape stunted, wildly unbalanced -- and usually exploited and poor -- economics in regions that lack productive cities on their own. (...) The subject of this book, in other words, is the rise and decline of wealth: Why do some economies prosper while others languish?"
