+1 Oooh, yes. Your pithy comment reminded me of this vlog brothers post where he relates his small Midwestern town to Renaissance Venice. I couldn't find the video if I wanted, the search terms are too popular.

Still, same thing, locality is important. I wish it was stressed more often in this increasingly globalized world.

It's an inspirational perspective, thank you for the recommendation.

A side note:I'm reading Jacob Soll's history of accounting "The Reckoning" & renaissance Florence (+Venice) figures big there as well.
