Rural Wealth Creation
Author: John L. Pender
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135121893
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This book investigates the role of wealth in achieving sustainable rural economic development. The authors define wealth as all assets net of liabilities that can contribute to well-being, and they provide examples of many forms of capital – physical, financial, human, natural, social, and others. They propose a conceptual framework for rural wealth creation that considers how multiple forms of wealth provide opportunities for rural development, and how development strategies affect the dynamics of wealth. They also provide a new accounting framework for measuring wealth stocks and flows. These conceptual frameworks are employed in case study chapters on measuring rural wealth and on rural wealth creation strategies. Rural Wealth Creation makes numerous contributions to research on sustainable rural development. Important distinctions are drawn to help guide wealth measurement, such as the difference between the wealth located within a region and the wealth owned by residents of a region, and privately owned versus publicly owned wealth. Case study chapters illustrate these distinctions and demonstrate how different forms of wealth can be measured. Several key hypotheses are proposed about the process of rural wealth creation, and these are investigated by case study chapters assessing common rural development strategies, such as promoting rural energy industries and amenity-based development. Based on these case studies, a typology of rural wealth creation strategies is proposed and an approach to mapping the potential of such strategies in different contexts is demonstrated. This book will be relevant to students, researchers, and policy makers looking at rural community development, sustainable economic development, and wealth measurement.

The New Power of Regions
Author: Center for the Study of Rural America
Publisher: University Press of the Pacific
ISBN: 9781410214768
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Regions are a critical way for rural America to seize new economic opportunities. Economic experts increasingly agree that rural America's most exciting economic opportunities require some level of critical mass, often built through regional partnerships. Advanced manufacturing, for example, holds great promise for boosting rural economic growth, but seizing this potential depends on building manufacturing clusters through increased cooperation among firms, community colleges, and other public agencies. How can public policy encourage these regional synergies? The New Power of Regions: A Policy Focus for Rural America brought together rural leaders and experts from throughout the nation to examine how new regions are forming in rural America and what policies help forge new partnerships. The conference was hosted by the Center for Study of Rural America, in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, in May, 2002. Conference participants were quite upbeat about rural America's new frontier of opportunity, but they were even more convinced that such opportunities will develop only with new models of partnering - across businesses and governments. We trust that these proceedings will help to inform the renewed dialogue on policies that help rural America build a brighter economic future.

Transfer of Wealth in Rural America
Author: Donald W. Macke
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615558301
Category : Charity organization
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Through this book, we hope to connect the American wealth opportunity and the historic intergenerational transfer of wealth that will occur over time with the entrepreneurial energy that will play a key role in creating future economic activity and wealth for our communities, rural and urban. The first section of this book focuses on understanding the American wealth opportunity. An important component of America's wealth opportunity relates to the intergenerational transfer of wealth that will occur over the next 50 years, and this book shares lessons from the Center's research in this area. The second section focuses on realizing the wealth creation opportunity. We will make the case for why the present time one characterized by serious constraints in the traditional resource environment in support of economic development is the right time to focus on creating an alternative, homegrown pool of development resources. The final section focuses on connecting wealth creation and entrepreneurship. For the past 10 years, the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship has worked to understand the promise that entrepreneur-focused economic development can offer rural communities and regions across the country and to share this understanding through a range of research, outreach and policy-related activities. We draw on this experience to make clear how entrepreneurs contribute to wealth creation and their role in the wealth pipeline from building individual, family and business assets to creating community wealth.
