| Karl Marx views on expanding markets of a free enterprise
system:
... A .network user once
commented on the North
American Economic Development Model,
stating that it ultimately has a negative affect on community
sustainability. He quoted
from Karl Marx as follows: The need of a
constantly expanding market for its products chases the
bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must
nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections
everywhere. The comments were more thought provoking
than substantive, but did lead to defining negative
economic development impact. For more thoughts

Donella H. Meadows, The Limits to Growth:
... book published in in the early 1970s
that projected a grim future for a over populated, highly
polluted, resource-depleted,
world. It awakening a nascent environmental movement and became a
bible for environmentalists. The sequel
was Beyond
the Limits by Dennis Meadows, Dana Meadows and Jorgen Randers. It projected
that a world population growth of 50%, industrial output increase of 85%, and
disastrous depletion
of nonrenewable resources will come about between the time of its publication
and 2020. It also predicted pollution and erosion of farmland fertility to the
extent that food production will begin to fall by 2015 and quality-of-life,
industrial output, and population will decline by mid-century. Dana Meadows
(deceased) founded an ecological village and The
Sustainability Institute. The issues covered by these books are thought
by many to be in conflict with enterprise
and economic development.
negative economic development impact:
... the compelling effect of economic
development that occurs as opposite to what is desirable,
for example, when an enterprise shuts down in a
place and workers lose their jobs the
antithesis of the
process as defined in terms of job
creation. Many locations are the beneficiaries
of site selection in terms of relocation but
there almost always has to be a negative economic development
impact someplace. No question about it, the failure of
an enterprise in a community can cause a negative economic
development impactsee

retention and the .network guide
to economic
development best practices for information about
what communities should do to try to avoid this negative.
