In stark contrast to the rest of the world's advanced nations, the United States is growing at a record rate and, according to census projections, will be home to four hundred million Americans by 2050. This projected rise in population is the strongest indicator of our long-term economic strength, Kotkin believes, and will make us more diverse and more competitive than any nation on earth. Drawing on prodigious research, firsthand reportage, and historical analysis, this book reveals how this unprecedented growth will take physical shape and change the face of America--focusing not on power brokers, policy disputes, or abstract trends, but rather on the evolution of the more intimate units of American society: families, towns, neighborhoods, industries.--From publisher description. 000337432 650_0 $$aSocial prediction$$zUnited States. 000337432 650_0 $$aPopulation forecasting$$zUnited States. 000337432 650_0 $$aCities and towns$$zUnited States$$xGrowth$$xForecasting. 000337432 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForecasting. 000337432 85200 $$bgen$$hHN60$$i.K68$$i2010 000337432 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:337432$$pGLOBAL_SET 000337432 980__ $$aBIB 000337432 980__ $$aBOOK
