Summary of Richard Florida's The Great Reset - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The life cycle of a society is similar to that of a tree. Times of crisis reveal what is and isn't working, and these are the times when obsolete and dysfunctional systems and practices collapse or fall by the wayside. #2 A true Reset transforms not just the way we innovate and produce, but also the way we live and work.
It brings about new housing patterns, realigning where and how we live and work. It usher in a new way of life defined by new wants and needs and new models of consumption that spur the economy. #3 Economic systems do not exist in the abstract; they are embedded within the geographic fabric of the society. The way land is used, the locations of homes and businesses, and the infrastructure that ties people, places, and commerce together shape production, consumption, and innovation. #4 The American Dream of owning a home has become obsolete in an economy that revolves around mobility and flexibility.
Not only has this aspect of the dream grown dark, but it's also clear that financial excess in the housing sector was one of the main causes of the economic crisis.
