Financing Economic Development in the 21st Century

The field of economic development grew dramatically in the 1990s, from an ad hoc endeavor to a sophisticated undertaking that is practiced by state and local governments and local chambers of commerce. What once had been experimental attempts to attract employers has now evolved into a standard, always-expanding set of tools that many communities apply. The editors of Financing Economic Development in the 21st Century have assembled a book that defines the state of the art for this new era. This book is a comprehensive resource that describes both traditional and alternative mechanisms available for financing economic development. Chapters describe financing tools or programs in detail, provide examples of how they work, and evaluate the utility and effectiveness of the technique for economic development. Each chapter also includes a complete bibliography for further exploration.White, Sammis B. is the author of 'Financing Economic Development in the 21st Century' with ISBN 9780765608314 and ISBN 0765608316.
