About this book

Prolonged economic downturn is forcing policy makers and professors to examine how to improve economic development. State and regional governments are therefore moving from public sector-led strategies to private sector-led strategies to enact substantial business-friendly policy reforms. This view of growing economic development sparks interest among public policy, public administration, urban planning, and other academic programs to teach about how America goes about implementing economic development strategies at the state and local level. The Energy Economy is a public policy and current affairs focused economics book targeted toward a public policy and current affairs audience. It offers practical and topical discussions about the most important economic issue of current times: energy.

Reviews

"Robinson's text embraces the notion that competitive, reliable, safe and diverse energy helped make the United States a global manufacturing power; it provides a guide to retaining and strengthening this advantage by building a regional energy sector to drive innovation that is of the utmost importance to every state and city and to our overall economic development competitiveness." - Kenny McDonald, President, Columbus 2020, USA

"America is enjoying the 'Age of Energy' as regions and states are growing through energy development in ways not seen in over 100 years. Robinson's The Energy Economy captures how communities big and small are utilizing an energy-led economic development strategy to foster economic success." - Michael C. Carroll, Professor and Director, Center for Regional Development, Bowling Green State University, USA

"Energy is the centerpiece of the fastest growing regions around the world. The Energy Economy provides an excellent guide for how a smart approach to the energy industry can produce economic success." - Mark James, Vice President for Economic Development, American Electric Power, USA
