"This book examines why high-tech development became so economically important late in the twentieth century, and why its magic formula of people, jobs, capital, and institutions has been so difficult to replicate. Margaret O'Mara shows that high-tech regions are not simply accidental market creations but "cities of knowledge" - planned communities of scientific production that were shaped and subsidized by the original venture capitalist, the Cold War defense complex."--BOOK JACKET.
