Abstract

The role of government in the economy, nationally down to the local level, has evolved over the years. Historically, government involvement in the economy was frowned-upon and highly circumscribed. Over the years, rules emerged that guided governments’ roles. This essay discusses the foundations to government support of economic development, issues concerning modern economic development programming, and ends with a call for a dialogue on the proper role of state and local government in promoting the Iowa economy.
