About the Author
Reviews
"Throughout history, business, ideas, and influence have flowed from cities that became great as a result of their proximity to major waterways, centers of commerce, and great universities. Kent Calder's latest book explores how these factors, combined with twenty-first-century innovations in the knowledge industry, social media, and finance, are helping key cities around the world to reshape national and international politics."--James McGann, Founder and Director of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, Lauder Institute, University of Pennsylvania
