Richard Florida, bestselling author of Who's Your City? and The Rise of the Creative Class, returns with a much-needed and original vision as we emerge from the economic downturn, illuminating the incredible opportunity our times present for rethinking our future.

The Great Reset will be more than descriptive and instructional economics; it will provide a new framework for understanding how we can power a revolutionary new round of growth akin to those that powered North America out of massive depressions in the 1870s and 1930s. His argument comes replete with facts, stories and historical examples, research begun in support of his much-discussed March 2009 article in The Atlantic. Florida reminds us of the importance of geography and place, so long neglected; details the core actions needed to spur recovery; and paints a picture of what our economy, society and geography could look like — how we would work and live — after the Great Reset.
