"Koistinen puts the 'political' back in political economy in this
fascinating account of New England's twentieth-century industrial
erosion. First-rate research and sound judgments make this study
essential reading."--Philip Scranton, Rutgers University-Camden
"Well-organized and clearly written, Confronting Decline looks at
one community to understand a process that has become truly
national."--David Stebenne, Ohio State University "Koistinen's
important book makes clear that many industrial cities and regions
began to decline as early as the 1920s."--Alan Brinkley, Columbia
University "Sheds new light on a complex system of enterprise that
sometimes blurs, and occasionally overrides, the distinctions of
private and public, as well as those of locality, state, region,
and nation. In so doing, it extends and deepens the insights of
previous scholars of the American political economy."--Robert M.
Collins, University of Missouri The rise of the United States to a
position of global leadership and power rested initially on the
outcome of the Industrial Revolution. Yet as early as the 1920s,
important American industries were in decline in the places where
they had originally flourished. The decline of traditional
manufacturing--deindustrialization--has been one of the most
significant aspects of the restructuring of the American economy.
In this volume, David Koistinen examines the demise of the textile
industry in New England from the 1920s through the 1980s to better
understand the impact of industrial decline. Focusing on policy
responses to deindustrialization at the state, regional, and
federal levels, he offers an in-depth look at the process of
industrial decline over time and shows how this pattern repeats
itself throughout the country and the world. A volume in the series
Working in the Americas, edited by Richard Greenwald and Timothy J.
