<i>"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."</i><br /> <p><i>"Not unlike the original edition,</i> Community Economics <i>will 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."</i><br /> </p> <p>Mark B. Lapping, University of Southern Maine in Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 46, No.4, 2006</p>
The main body of economic research and literature has neglected the economics of smaller communities. Community Economics: Linking Theory and Practice fills that information void. This text serves as a comprehensive guide on smaller, open economies and urban neighborhoods for economists, regional planners, rural sociologists, and geographers. Additionally, Community Economics is an issue-oriented handbook of development strategies for development practitioners, planning and zoning officials, and others involved in the ay-to-day activities of community economic development.
