Sinopse
This book is a complete revision of Dr. Shaffer´s classic Community Economics: Linking Theory and Practice. The original book provided readers with a comprehensive understanding of the many non-farm economic activities in rural America. In this edition, authors Shaffer, Deller, and Marcouiller review the economics of smaller communities with continued emphasis on what it takes to set and achieve community development goals. The text also demonstrates how local experts can be used to identify problems, form solutions, and maintain community support for long-term goals.
