As Two Ships Pass in the Night: The Short Story of American Economic Development IndexReviews`This is an amazingly comprehensive interpretive analysis of the factors, forces and institutions that shaped the evolution of economic development in America. Ronald W. Coan examines and interprets the historic evolution of both the institution and the practice of economic development. It is this analytic model and its use for the examination of the duality of economic development in America that separates this work from others that examine American economic history and from parts of other books and essays that examine the role and fact of economic development over the 200+ years of the American nation.' -- Roger Stough, George Mason University, US `Coan frames American sub-national economic development as two ships passing in the night, but his seminal work demonstrates that state and local economic development efforts are shaped by an armada of historical forces. He masterfully ties historical economic patterns to key events-many of which have not headlined the more familiar American narrative, yet have played a vital role in shaping the economic legacy of the nation's communities and states.' -- Kenneth E.
