The High-Tech Potential: Economic Development in Rural America

Details:
This book provides a hard-nosed look at the high-tech potential in rural economic development. Are rural areas attractive to high tech, or will rural communities be bypassed completely for even lower-wage third-world locations? Glasmeier provides the answers in a sober analysis that separates fact from myth. Her analysis includes a critical evaluation of state and local economic development policy and recommendations for its improvement.
