Regional Economic Development: The Federal Role

by Gordon C. Cameron

Overview

First published in 1970, Regional Economic Development: The Federal Role examines the economic viability of depressed areas and regions.

This title is an ideal resource for students interested in politics, macroeconomics, and federal policies concerning the revitalisation of distressed areas and economies.
