"there is no need to worry about mere size. sir isaac newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less."
...who would have guessed an econ book could offer so much insight. speaking of hippopotami...
"water without a hippopotamus was so much more manageable than water with one." - life of pi

"agglomeration economies are stronger than the diseconomies of scale associated with commuting. in contrast, an increase in the workforce decreases utility because agglomeration economies are weaker than the diseconomies from commuting." - and they've lost me again
