“Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many.”
- Adam Smith
“No society can surely be flourishing and happy of which by far the greater part of the numbers are poor and miserable.”

“It is not so much the size of the gap between the rich and poor that drives segregation as the ability of the super-wealthy to isolate and wall themselves off from the less well-to-do.”
- Richard Florida

“Google has the opportunity, the power, and the money to build an entire city and anchor a new vision of urbanity – but instead it has retreated into a predictable, perhaps even slightly sinister vision of a private world enclosed under glass.” - Edwin Heathcote

“This kind of growth is a thing to celebrate, surely. But there are perils associated with prosperity, and anybody trying to navigate their way around the region feels it…Perhaps most vexing of all, the growth is uneven. Though we’re proliferating high-wage and low-wage jobs, we’re steadily losing share in the middle. It’s as if the economy has lost its spine, and this has important implications for the kind of community we become.” - Russell Hancock, Joint Venture Silicon Valley

Perceptions of Government

Market Orientation
- Market is “good,” government intervention is “bad”
- Supply is the solution
- Existing conditions are the “natural” order
- Does not address externalities, public realm
- False choice between equity v. efficiency
- Capital formation in response to sizeable returns
- Creating new public tools require significant process and tests
