The Ghost Towns That Tell Our Future
A former silver mining town in northern Ontario holds an unexpected lesson about prosperity. Cobalt boomed spectacularly when silver was discovered, then withered when the mines closed. Meanwhile, Toronto-which had built sophisticated financial networks to fund those distant mines-continued thriving long after the last nugget was extracted. This contrast reveals something profound: sustainable prosperity doesn't come from chasing resources or replicating someone else's success. It comes from building capabilities that endure. Today, as communities worldwide scramble to become "the next Silicon Valley," they're repeating Cobalt's mistake-pursuing someone else's formula rather than developing their own strengths. What if the path to shared prosperity requires abandoning this copycat approach entirely?
