In this book, Florida states that future economic prosperity of cities depends on their ability to attract the creative class, those people who add economic value through their creativity. In my opinion, these creative classes are mostly concentrated in institutions such as government, universities and businesses that lead to specialized support, training, education, information and research for economic and social growth. In these institutions the opportunities and chances to improve and come out with some new and important findings are the best.
Concerning the fact that USA is one of the countries that lead the world, I wanted to add that USA offers many possibilities and it still remains the dream of many people. It is like for Albanians not being from Tirana but living in Tirana because of offering more opportunities, or Turkish living in Istanbul etc. so people try to live where they find better opportunities.
Hi Erisa,
ReplyDeleteI would only add something, I the first paragraph you say that this class find more opportunities working in the governmental institutions but as you may know in Albania, governmental institutions don’t provide a lot of possibilities. And I would link it to your last paragraph that you wish Albanians to live and to contribute in Albania. If the possibilities are so rare, then its better for this talented people not to lose themselves just because of lack of policies and possibilities.
Thanks,
Blerina
Hello Erisa
ReplyDeleteAs everywhere and in everything the important part is the connection point. I am referring to common goals. A state or a company wants to be bigger and more successful than that company needs get better workers, better directors and better developers. Depending in how much they want to spend the success will be proportional to it.
