Our Book: |
The global Internetworked market is changing how firms conduct business, and how people work and make money. Some economists believe that the new economy will mean that the location of a business will not matter, as long as the Internet can connect the business to the consumer. Along these same lines of thought, some political scientists believe that nations and cities may become obsolete entities, and may be replaced by a "global community." This work reaches a different conclusion about the implications of the new global eccnomy. Some cities will become engines of wealth creation for the citizens who live there, and other cities will stagnate. What happens in each city will depend on technical change, new venture creation, and access to local pools of venture capital. The key factors will be the supply of local entrepreneurs and the attitudes of elected leaders towards promoting technical change.

Thomas Vass graduated with a B.A. in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1973. He received his Master of Regional Planning, with a concentration in economic development and labor market theory, from UNC-CH in 1975. In 1975, he became an economic advisor to the Board of Directors of B. C. Hydro and Power Authority, in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1977, he returned to North Carolina to become an economic advisor to the state Department of Labor. His work involved promoting new venture creation and small business development policy initiatives and developing high skill training programs. He authored the grant applications and provided project oversight for state-wide high skill training/economic development projects, such as the Wanchese Harbor Marine Crafts Skill Training Program. In 1984, he became an investment consultant for E. F. Hutton. In 1988, he opened his own registered investment advisory corporation, Business & Family Financial Strategies, Inc. He developed a proprietary portfolio management methodology (patent pending), and was cited in The Wealth Equation as one of the top 100 private managers in the nation. He is the author of several articles published in professional journals on economic development, financial planning, and marketing theory. One of his publications, Industrial Recruitment and North Carolina's Path of Economic Development to the Year 2000, contained the policy outlines and first state agency initiative aimed at creating a regional entrepreneurial council, later to become the Council for Entrepreneurial Development. He serves as an arbitrator on the National Association of Security Dealers Board of Arbitration. He was the organizer and first President of the Middle Creek/Swift Creek Community Alliance, Inc., a citizens environmental group in Wake County. He was the organizer and first president of a state trade association called the North Carolina Investment Advisers Association, whose mission is to promote high ethical standards.
