The economic history of California, from its earliest days through its emergence as an agricultural and economic giant, is examined with emphasis on the new entrepreneurial elite.

“If you want to learn how ethnic networks can work to their members’ advantage. Kotkin has literally written the book, and done it well.”

The Washington Post

“Persuasive.”

Fortune

“Revealing. . . . Kotkin’s theme is that ethnic groups seeking economic gain can do good. The tribes Kotkin has in mind are those that combine an enduring ethnic identity with a cosmopolitan outlook and a passion for knowledge.”

U.S. News & World Report

“Provocative.”

Newsweek

“A challenging analysis of how the world really works.”

Kirkus Reviews
