Book excerpt: In the 1950s and 1960s Michigan was one of the world's economic power-houses. Over the last several decades, however, manufacturing has claimed an ever-smaller share of the U.S. economy, and Michigan, with its heavy emphasis on manufacturing, has steadily lost ground. In this thought-provoking book, Charles L. Ballard provides a detailed analysis of Michigan's current economic situation, and points the way to a brighter future. Although manufacturing will continue to play an important role for years to come, the economic conditions of the mid twentieth century have changed, and the brightest prospects for the future are in the high-skill, high-technology sectors of the economy. Thus, education is the key to success in tomorrow's economy. Michigan's foremost challenge is to provide the highly educated, highly skilled workforce that the future economy will demand. This is a daunting challenge, since the educational attainment of Michigan's population lags behind the national average. Ballard demonstrates that a single-minded focus on cutting taxes and public services will not take Michigan where it needs to go. The level of taxation in Michigan is far lower than it once was, and Michigan's archaic tax system is increasingly unable to provide enough resources to make necessary investments for the future. Education policy and public finances take center stage in Michigan's Economic Future, but Ballard also explores other critical policy issues such as transportation, land use, environment, corrections, health care, and anti-poverty programs. Michigan's Economic Future is essential for anyone interested in economic policy for the Great Lakes State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible, engaging text examines the impact of the trends that have shaped Michigan’s economy, and offers innovative solutions to the current economic crisis. Charles Ballard’s illuminating book explores the structure of Michigan’s economy, including its roots in agriculture, the rise and fall of the automotive industry, and the long-term decline of manufacturing. Ballard proposes that investing in education to create a highly skilled workforce can help Michigan’s people to compete in the rapidly evolving global economy. Discussing the state’s transportation infrastructure, environment, public expenditures, and tax system, Ballard describes how changes in attitudes, policies, and political institutions will help to promote economic recovery and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The near collapse of the auto industry in Michigan along with limited production of pharmaceuticals has brought a number of communities to a standstill and left them with the need to survive in the face of paralyzing factors. Many academics believe that the nation is at the edge of a "New Economy" . The new economy theory suggests that the old economy based on manufacturing is no longer viable and therefore communities should move towards a knowledge-based economy and attracting talents. This thesis assesses the feasibility and applicability of the new economy theory to the economic development of small and mid-sized communities in Michigan. Using economic composition analysis and a case study of Kalamazoo, MI the thesis finds that the economy has only slightly shifted and remains strong in industries that were developed in the old economy. For small and mid-sized communities the importance of developing feasible economic development strategies can project economic stability for the future. The research provides an example for doing so through the economic history of Kalamazoo, MI and provides the preliminary framework to study strategies for other communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic and Social Beginnings of Michigan: A Study of the Settlement of the Lower Peninsula During the Territorial Period, 1805-1837 It is impossible to acknowledge adequately the debt I owe to all of those who have so generously aided me in finding and studying my sources. To my master, Professor Claude H. Van Tyne, Head of the Department of History in the University of Michigan, I wish specially to express my deep obligation for indispensable aid received at every stage of the work. Special acknowledgments are due to Professor Edward Raymond Turner, also of the University, for invaluable suggestions in preparing the manuscript, and to Professors Wilbur C. Abbott and Max Farrand of Yale, for assistance received in the inception of the work. It would seem almost invidious to particularize the officers and attendants of the University Library, the State Library, the Burton Library, and the city libraries of Michigan, especially those of Detroit and Grand Rapids, who have been uniformly generous in extending privileges to facilitate these researches. The selection of the subject of this work grew out of an interest in Michigan history begun in early years and a desire to make some return to my native State for the advantages I have received from her. The work is now presented as a token of esteem for the pioneer builders of the commonwealth, and to their descendants I wish to express sincere gratitude for the encouragement that has lightened my labor.
