<p> Charts a new direction for public policy . . . An important book both for laymen and economic development specialists. <p> --Urban Studies
Selected by Choice (1993) as ""Outstanding Academic Book"" ""How can the US overcome a loss of competitiveness in the world economy? How can lagging regions be made prosperous? Rosenfeld answers by shifting the ground to the competitive advantage of industries rather than locations ... Rosenfeld blends survey and census data, case studies of specific manufacturing firms, research reports, newspaper and magazine articles, and academic writings into a thorough and highly readable defense of his conclusions ... One is not an expert in economic development absent knowledge of Rosenfeld's arguments."" - R. A. Beauregard, Choice ""A well-researched study, with convincing and clear policy directions."" - Journal of Planning Education and Research ""A thorough guide to the modernization policies that ... shape national, regional, and state approaches to economic development."" - Journal of Regional Science ""Charts a new direction for public policy ... An important book both for laymen and economic development specialists."" - Urban Studies ""This is an important book that will be as useful to informed laymen as to economic development specialists. It is based on a thorough understanding of the adjustment problems that face rural areas in particular, but American industry in general. It demonstrates how public policies can help companies, and therefore the country, become high-income, world-class producers."" -Ray Marshall, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Professor of Economics, University of Texas
