我确信,在这个世界上有许多令人惊喜的事情,有某种比惊喜深刻得多的东西,某种持久而有意义的东西。那些生活在地球上美和神奇的东西之间的人们,不管他是作为科学家的成人还是非科学家的孩子,永远不会孤单或对生活感到厌倦;无论他们的个人生活有什么问题和忧虑,他们的思想都能找到通往内心的满足和对生活重燃激情的途径。那些凝视地球之美的人能找到它们终身受用的力量储备。他们看到在鸟类的迁徙中,在潮水的涨落之中,既有着具体的惊奇,更有着深遂的美。在大自然的反反复复循坏中,有一种具备无限治愈力的东西,黑暗过去是黎明,冬天过后是春天这一永恒的保障。
During the 1960’s and 1970’s, the primary economic development strategy of local governments in the United States was to attract manufacturing industries. Unfortunately, this strategy was usually implemented at another community’s expense: many manufacturing facilities were lured away from their moorings elsewhere through tax incentives and slick promotional efforts. Through the transfer of jobs and related revenues that resulted from this practice, one town’s triumph could become another town’s tragedy.In the 1980’s the strategy shifted from this zero-sum game to one called “high-technology development,” in which local governments competed to attract newly formed high-technology manufacturing firms. Although this approach was preferable to victimizing other geographical areas by taking their jobs, it also had its shortcomings: high-tech manufacturing firms employ only a specially trained fraction of the manufacturing workforce, and there simply are not enough high-tech firms to satisfy all geographic areas.Recently, local governments have increasingly come to recognize the advantages of yet a third strategy: the promotion of homegrown small businesses. Small indigenous businesses are created by a nearly ubiquitous resource, local entrepreneurs, with roots in their communities, these individuals are less likely to be enticed away by incentives offered by another community. Indigenous industry and talent are kept at home, creating an environment that both provides jobs and fosters further entrepreneurship.1.
