The Importance of Infrastructure Investment

There are some options from a personal investment standpoint you can look at, but one of the things I found most fascinating in researching this was a paper written by sociologist John Yuri. Once economies and societies were locked into what I conceptualized as this steel and petroleum car, then huge increasing returns resulted from those producing and selling the car and its associated infrastructure products and services. This mode of mobility is neither socially necessary nor inevitable, but has seemed impossible to break from. Automobility divides workplaces from homes, produces lengthy commutes into and across the city. The car represents freedom and flexibility, but that has come at a price.
