Community Economics: Linking Theory and Practice
"This edition succeeds...in ways very few other attempts have achieved. Concepts are applied, models explained, principles are richly explicated, and themes are well developed, all in a fashion that really draws economic theory and literature into their regional and community contexts. Even those with only a cursory exposure to the economic theory of local development will find sections of the book highly readable and extremely useful.""Not unlike the original edition,Community Economicswill find a place in the classroom...for it is, simply put, as good grounding in economic theory placed in a practical context as any I have read."Mark B.
