Abstract
While several inclusionary economic development policies may appear similar to traditional economic development policies, they are different in focusing on four key concerns. First, they are more focused on creating greater economic opportunities for minorities and people struggling in poverty. Second, they promote policies that positively impact the economic and social well-being of future generations. Third, they encourage environmental and social sustainable development. Finally, the author argues that they should also concentrate on improving workplace conditions for all employees.
期刊介绍:
Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
