Some of those reading about the Global TransPark?s $38 million debt might remember the role UNC-Chapel Hill professor John Kasarda played in pushing the TransPark concept years ago.
Kasarda?s latest kick ? the concept of the aerotropolis ? has generated a new book. The latest Bloomberg Businessweek reviews that book:
Although he receives credit as lead author, Kasarda darts in and out of the book as a central character, portrayed in the third-person. Occasionally awkward narration is just a small flaw, however, in an otherwise fascinating and important work. An evangelist of sorts, Kasarda travels the world preaching to companies, cities, and countries that they must embrace the new rules of commerce or risk getting left behind.
Perhaps the reviewer needs a reminder of Dr. Kasarda?s track record, or of Thomas Sowell?s description of intellectuals? success rate in predicting the future.
