Ethnic entrepreneurship and agglomeration is nothing new

Despite the wonder expressed by Cecilia Kang in the Washington Post article "Korean Enterprise Expands Beyond Small Businesses." Besides the thousands of books, journal articles, google hits, etc., just think for a second of modern businesses like Goya Foods, the Fanjuls in Florida (they control the sugar cane industry), or the Lebanese in Mexico (they control most of the big corporations there, such as Televisa).

Note to Ms. Kang, check out scholar.google.com and enter the term ethnic entrepreneurialism, read the book Black Capitalism by Theodore Cross, etc.

cf. Koreatown in Los Angeles, Chinatowns in cities like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and San Francisco, Little Italies in various places, etc.
