Richard Davies is the author of "Extreme Economies: And What They Can Teach Us." He visits places like Santiago, Chile to examine income inequality, Akita, Japan to see what happens when a population starts to age dramatically, refugee camps and prisons, and environmental disaster zones. What causes resiliency? How does a city or a community create a shared project?
