Abstract
The United States experienced very radical changes in the regional sourcing of invention and new technology during the twentieth century. In less than five decades, areas that were previously peripheral or undeveloped turned into the most important sources of new technology. This remarkable transformation, and the factors which supported it, need to be understood if we are to make any sense of the forces that drive regional change.
