Rural resource development: an economic approach - 24 (Second edition.)

The question of how best to use our various resources has become one of crucial importance as we face today's many economic problems.

In this second edition, the authors are concerned with decisions on rural issues in a climate of financial cut-backs, which emphasise the need for identifying the most efficient public choices.

With a refreshing directness they consider immediate problems of rural resources, such as the growth of the public sector, fluctuating commodity prices, dislocation in the land market, pollution, recreation pressure, and modernisation of an outdated settlement structure.
