There are many factors that determine a person’s success in life. We know that intelligence is only a small part of the equation—character traits like self-control, grit, and willpower are also important. Now an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, has found something that might matter even more: geography.

In this important and persuasive book, Enrico Moretti argues that a "new geography of jobs" is emerging, and it’s benefiting centers of innovation like San Francisco, Boston, Austin, and Durham. But the winners and losers aren’t necessarily the people you’d expect.
