Reviews
"This book is both interesting and informative from the perspective of a true expert in the economic development field." - Jeff Finkle, President, International Economic Development Council, USA
"Robinson's text is an important addition to the economic development canon. His synthesis of law, policy and economics provides a powerful analytical foundation for the practical real-world strategies and tactics he lays out. A must-read for economic development professionals." - Trevor Brown, Director, John Glenn School of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University, USA
"Robinson has served in many capacities in the private and public sectors learning valuable lessons on how to drive economic success. A savvy practitioner desiring to maximize their chances of economic success will be well served to learn the lessons Robinson shares in this thoughtful book. Robinson has unique insight into the nuances of state and local economic development." - Gregory S. Lashutka, President, National League of Cities; former Mayor, Columbus, Ohio
"As economic development grows ever more complex, Robinson introduces us to the key actors who make it happen. He takes us on a journey and proves that the decisions that matter aren't solely concentrated in the nation's capital. They flow from state houses, city halls and places where the impacts are directly felt. His book is a valuable resource not only to those who study this topic, but those who live it every day." - William Shields, Executive Director, American Society for Public Administration
