Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The debate over the source of Appalachia's economic problems has been going strong since Harry Caudill's Night Comes to the Cumberlands appeared in 1963. Now a new study illuminates the region's plight, making a vital contribution to the understanding of this area's critical economic dilemma.In Appalachia's Path to Dependency, Paul Salstrom examines the evolution of economic life over time in southern Appalachia. Moving away from the colonial model to an analysis based on dependency, he exposes the complex web of factors--regulation of credit, industrialization, population growth, cultural values, federal intervention--that has worked against the region.Salstrom argues that economic adversity has resulted from three types of disadvantages: natural, market, and political.

This regional perspective offers a clear-eyed view of Appalachia's path in the future.…
