Rural Economics


Book Description

What is Rural Economics The study of regional economies is referred to as rural economics. Rural economies encompass both agricultural and non-agricultural enterprises; hence, rural economics is concerned with a wider range of issues than agricultural economics, which is more predominantly concerned with food systems. Attempts are made by rural development and finance to address more significant issues that are present in rural economy. The absence of economic activities and poverty in rural areas are often the root causes of these economic problems, which are often tied to the movement of people from rural areas. There have been some interventions that have been quite successful in certain regions of the world. Rural tourism and rural electricity have served as anchors for the transformation of economies in certain rural areas. These issues frequently result in income discrepancies between rural and urban areas.

A Brief Course in Rural Economics and Rural Sociology (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A Brief Course in Rural Economics and Rural Sociology The cordial reception given the first edition of this little book has made a second edition necessary. Some changes, which in the light of class room use seemed advisable have been made. Many topics have been treated more fully, a few that were not in the first edition have been included, and a few others have been omitted entirely. A course of study adapted to eighth grade pupils in rural schools has been added. In making use of this course of study in a rural school it is suggested that the topics be taken up in connection with the work in history, civics, geography, etc. This book is intended as an introduction to the study of rural economics and rural sociology. It has been prepared to meet the needs of rural teachers and pupils in rural schools. In no sense is it a scientific treatise. It will have served its purpose if it leads its readers to a further study of the great movements making for the betterment of country life.
