    Essentials of Economic Theory

    John Bates Clark was an American economist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is considered one of the founders of the neoclassical school of economics and is best known for his work on marginal productivity theory. 
    One of Clark's most influential works is his book "The Essentials of Economic Theory" which was first published in 1907. The book provides an introduction to economic theory and covers a wide range of topics, including production, consumption, distribution, and exchange. 
    Clark's approach to economic theory was highly mathematical and he believed that economic analysis should be based on the principles of marginalism. He argued that the value of a good or service is determined by the marginal utility it provides to consumers and the marginal cost of producing it. 
    Clark also developed the theory of marginal productivity, which suggests that the value of a worker's contribution to the production process is equal to the marginal product of labor. This theory has been highly influential in the development of modern labor economics. 
    Overall, "The Essentials of Economic Theory" is an important work that has had a significant impact on the development of economic thought. Clark's emphasis on the principles of marginalism and his development of the theory of marginal productivity have helped to shape the way that economists think about markets and the role of individuals in the production process.

    The New Localism - How Cities...

    In their new book, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges. 
    Power is shifting in the world: downward from national governments and states to cities and metropolitan communities; horizontally from the public sector to networks of public, private and civic actors; and globally along circuits of capital, trade, and innovation. 
    This new locus of power—this new localism—is emerging by necessity to solve the grand challenges characteristic of modern societies: economic competitiveness, social inclusion and opportunity; a renewed public life; the challenge of diversity; and the imperative of environmental sustainability. Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on. 
    New localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction. 
    In The New Localism, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales. 
    Out of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision.
