Review
Economic development incentives are one of the biggest boondoggles of our time, draining away tens of billions of dollars of precious taxpayer dollars, with some states and cities offering as much as $7 billion to lure Amazon s much-ballyhooed HQ2. No one understands the intricacies of economic development incentives what works and what does not and the broader field of economic development policy and strategy better than Tim Bartik. This book is an absolute must read for mayors, governors, economic developers, city-builders, CEOs and business executives, community activists, and all those concerned about the future of our cities and communities. --Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class, and university professor at the University of Toronto
This book needed to be written and Tim Bartik needed to write it. Using clear, simple language and solid, empirical evidence he s collected over decades of close observation, Bartik explains how state and local policymakers can make smart decisions about business incentives, bringing real benefits to their communities and avoiding the next Foxconn. --Jared Bernstein served as chief economist to former Vice President Joe Biden, and is a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
