Romancing the Smokestack: How Cities and States Pursue Prosperity
MATR Sponsor (view all)
I’m writing to let you know that my new book on economic development is now available online!
The book is called Romancing the Smokestack: How Cities and States Pursue Prosperity https://www.createspace.com/3477293 . It’s a collection of more than 60 columns I’ve published in Governing magazine over the past 15 years – a Cook’s Tour, if you will, of economic development trends around the country since the mid-1990s.
It’s an easy and informative read – useful as a desk reference, a classroom text, or just for fun. Over the course of 200-plus pages, you’ll learn about a wide variety of economic development trends and topics, including:
* How China is losing manufacturing jobs just as fast as the United States
* Whether cities can count on airports as economic development generators
* The changing role of automobile sales in helping cities balance their budgets
* How states are requiring more accountability in their economic development efforts
* Keys to success in the "innovation economy"
The entire book is only $16 – a good bargain for so much information. So I sincerely hope you’ll check out Romancing the Smokestack https://www.createspace.com/3477293 right away!
