The Community Economic Development Movement
Description
An outstanding book on a very important subject. Simon has pulled together the many complex strands and woven them into a very readable, comprehensive story.
Community-based organizations are flourishing despite the atrophy of key parts of America's traditional civil society and turmoil in the provision of public services. Simon gives a compelling, coherent account of their success as an institutionally innovative revival of the republican idea of liberty. Whether you agree or not with the thesis, Simon's deeply informed and carefully argued book is an indispensable point of reference in the intensifying debate about the political vitality of the local in the age of the global.
