Numerous people have contributed to this book. First and foremost, I wish to acknowledge the financial assistance of the Ford Foundation and the Aspen Institutes Rural Economic Policy Program (REPP), which provided the resources to begin the project. The program has been important in providing me access to scholars in the field of rural development through its various conferences and seminars. I wish to especially thank Susan Sechler, program director, for her consistent support of my work. Norman Collins and Mildred Duncan also deserve credit for supporting the original study.
