Economic "Growth" vs. "Development" of Rural Communities: It Means the Difference between Local and Outside Control.

Varela, Maria

Workbook, v19 n2 p58-59 Sum 1994

Economic growth increases the amount of money in a community but does not increase the community's capacity to steer its own direction as economic development can. The accomplishments of Rio Arriba County (New Mexico) offer a rare example of successful economic development. Sustainable environmentalism, instead of conservation, considers people as part of the ecosystem. (KS)
