Rural Reminder

The Carsey Institute just released a policy brief on rural economic development in the "new economy" (the globalized, volatile one, I assume). The authors, Anita Brown-Graham and William Lambe, propose four tenets for contemporary rural development:

1. Innovation is key to driving growth and prosperity in today’s global economy.
2. Significant capital investments are required to put innovations to use.
3. Development efforts must seek to protect valuable natural assets.
4. Development is a “contact sport,” best pursued through dense networks of personal contacts.
