Sustain your developmentReviewsMark Miller's book, Economic Development for Everyone, is the best economic development book in decades. In it, Miller approaches the impossible goal of writing a book with academic rigor, yet with practical application, that reaches a diverse audience of academics, students, economic development practitioners, and community leaders. The book is focused on ED practice, rather than more basic research or theory-building (p. 5), yet the depth and breadth of the literature covered is astounding. [...] Practitioners of economic development, even those not primarily working with low-income communities, should read this book. The goal of economic development should be to create opportunities for everyone, and Miller gives an excellent review of the effectiveness of those approaches. Economic development as an academic field owes him a debt of gratitude. We now have a single source that captures the best approaches and research across the field. - Jason Jolley, Ohio University, USA, published in Economic Development Quarterly, October 2018.
