Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Planning for the South: An Inquiry Into the Economics of Regionalism Why are economic rewards so much lower in the South than in other parts of the country? This question was drawn forcibly to the attention of the nation by the Report on Economic Conditions of the South in which President Roosevelt, in a foreword, characterized the area as "the Nation's No. 1 economic problem." The present volume, which attempts to answer this question, is a plea for regionalism by "a man without a region." My residence in the South dates from September, 1938. With the exception of the first eight years of my life in Colorado and the next eleven in Baltimore, I have never spent more than five years in any one place; more than ten years were spent in various parts of Europe. My regionalism is thus intellectual rather than emotional. Nor is it the result of any sudden conversion. Are there any students who were privileged to sit under Frederic Jackson Turner who are not regionalists? His lectures made a deep impression on me in my graduate school days. His doctrines appear to me to have gained in validity throughout the years. I have more and more come to see our own Federal Union as a magnificent and continuing experiment in the art of harmonizing profound and desirable economic and cultural diversities, regional in character. The regions of the United States, as Turner pointed out, arc potential nations. In a sense, therefore, this is a study in international relations. It is not primarily the phenomenon of existing regional inequality that needs explaining, but rather its persistence over generations. This persistence is not something to be taken for granted.
