"I am impressed with the broad multidisciplinary scope of this book-the effort to place the social and economic circumstances of particular groups or types of individuals into a broader analytic framework so that they can be understood not as isolated instances but as parts of an overarching system of social and economic organization." - Patrick M. Horan, University of Georgia "The strength of the Falk-Lyson book is that it brings the industrial policy debate to bear on the rural South. The bottom line of the analysis is a question not often heard: 'What are the implications of industrial development policies for less-skilled workers and the poor?'. With that principal concern in mind, Falk and Lyson clearly demonstrate the disparities created by decades of 'de facto' southern industrial policies. As such, the book represents an important and timely critique of prevailing development strategies." - Charles M. Tolbert II, Florida State University
