In 2001 the northern Ontario town of Cobalt won a competition to be
named the province's "Most Historic Town." This honour came as
Cobalters were also applying for and winning federal and provincial
development grants to remake this once important silver mining
centre. This book, based on extended ethnographic and multi-method
research, examines the multiple ways that development proposal
writing is intertwined with neoliberal citizenship. The authors
argue that the citizens of Cobalt have become entrenched in a
"proposal economy," a system that empowers them to imagine, engage,
and propose but not to count on the state to provide certain
services.
