The symposium was organized to provide a forum for discussion of the new frameworks of rural capital and economic geography, to expand their boundaries, and to stimulate additional economic research on rural areas. In these papers, agricultural economists who have been in the forefront, challenging and developing these frameworks as they apply to the study of rural places, provide a review and assessment of the concepts and suggest the kind of work that will be needed to bring the ideas to their full potential in understanding and guiding rural economic change. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z
