Maurice, Here goes my general theory on this. The establishment of networks increase economic activities and produce greater good. However, oligopoly at the nodes can result in outsized profits. The employees in the oligopolies can have signficantly higher incomes than the rest, and therefore raise the price of real estate in select areas within commuting distances of 15-45 minutes from their work place. The oldest city civilizations were established at the banks of rivers - nature provided the energy and nutrients for agriculture as well as for transportation of goods. The powerful who controlled the river cities could keep bigger portions of the hard work of all in the hinterlands. The land routes between asia and europe between 1000 and 1500 were controlled by Arabs, who benefitted immensely for a long time. Between 1500 and 1800, the western europeans controlled the cheaper trade networks/routes (Portugese/Spanish, Dutch, French/British in succession). This enriched those nations at different times and the capital cities the most. Railway networks enriched major interchanges and ports such as New York, Chicago, Omaha and others. Financial networks such as banking systems and security markets have monetized all assets and economic transactions, and over last decades monetized the rate of change of those assets as well. These are probably the fastest moving and most electronic of networks, so great fortunes can be made. The media networks agglomerate ears and eyeballs and monetize them. Internet has created its own portals that suck your attention and monetize it. The tax collection networks of governments also ensure that prominent seats of governments are always better off. Capital cities across the world have nicer infrastructure and decent average incomes. -Arun >Manufacturing has always been a dirty sort of thing, essential to financial activity, but not the centre of it for those wielding the monetary instruments. It's not in the slightest surprising that wintry wind tunnel manufacturing Detroit is a second rate accommodation centre.>
