The idea for this book was formed during the early 1980s when the
author was studying the impact of plant closings on displaced
workers and communities. In one community, workers who were
displaced by a plant closing expected to receive retraining funds
through the Job Training and Partnership Act (JTPA), only to find
that the state had committed all the JTPA funds to train new
workers for a Japanese transplant. Soon it became apparent that
deindustrialization, job loss, and economically depressed
communities were linked with the escalating interstate competition
to provide multi-million dollar incentive packages for businesses
to settle in their state. When Japanese automobile companies
considered coming to the United States, they fueled the interstate
competition for these large projects, which promised thousands of
jobs and economic growth.
