This paper doesn't mention her economic writings, but Jacobs thought they would end up being her most enduring legacy [0]. AFAIK they've had a much more limited impact on economics, except for a burst of interest in some circles around the 1990s (endogenous growth theory and urban econ). For those interested in her economic ideas, I recommend reading _The Economy of Cities_ (1969) followed by _Cities and the Wealth of Nations_ (1984). For a quicker overview, here's a past submission/discussion on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10834435 [0] https://reason.com/2001/06/01/city-views-2/ (search the page for "remembered") |
