Rural America in the 1990's: Trends and Choices

William A. Galston

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1993, vol. 09, issue 01

Abstract: Shifts in the national and international economies have reduced the demand for primary U.S. products and eroded the comparative advantage of rural America. New technologies require less labor and have reduced agriculture's and manufacturing's shares of rural jobs. These trends restrict policy options. The future of rural America depends on the choices made among available options and the collective action (political, civic, and market) used to implement those choices
