More Description
The Formula for Economic Growth on Main Street America examines why the economic cycle during the late twentieth century was marked by the dramatic rise of some communities and the equally stunning demise of others. It identifies the key components of sustained economic growth as well as the policies, actions, and inactions that are precursors to the decline of local economies. Tapping into the same strategies that allowed Fairfax County, Virginia, to enjoy triple-digit job growth while reducing property taxes, Dr. Gerald Gordon provides readers with the framework and strategies needed to chart a course toward sustainable economic development.
