Description
Despite abundant conjecture in the scholarly community and heated rhetoric in state capitols throughout the land, there is remarkably little evidence that state govgernments can have any effect at all on the economic performace of their state. Working from a broadened historical perspective, and employing political and economic analysis, Pual Brace places the states and their economies in a more understandable light in State Government and Economic Performance.
