The Great Reset

The Great Reset

We've weathered tough times before. History teaches us that periods of "creative destruction," like the Great Depression of the 1930s, also present opportunities to remake our economy and society and generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity. In The Great Reset, bestselling author and economic development expert Richard Florida provides and engaging and sweeping examination of these previous economic epochs, or "resets," while looking toward the future to identify the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives. He distills the deep forces that alter physical and social landscapes--how and where we live, where we work, how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, how we shape our cities and regions--and shows the ways in which these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities for all of us.

Hey R.L. how bad is this economy?!



How bad is this economy?

You don't need me to tell you. You already know that.

In such desperate times as these the Blues songs shine through.


This ain't no white boy Blues wannabes like Eric Clapton or Mick Jagger.

R. L. Burnside is the real thing. North Mississippi Hill Country Blues at its best.
