520 _aExamines some of the new directions in regional economic development, specifically the perspective that local initiative matters in how a regions grows, adapts to change and adjusts to disequilibrating physical and societal shocks. Notes that there are barriers to entrepreneurial performance that vary from one region to another (and from one nation to another).
