The role of intermediaries in US workforce and education innovation
Intermediaries are specialised organisations that perform bridging and integrative functions to achieve improved results of social policies. Intermediaries have been most effective in the United States (US) when aligned with education and workforce system improvements and redesign, not as parallel and separate efforts. Intermediaries operate in many US social policy domains, including workforce and education, where they contribute to overcoming f…
Philanthropy and Mistakes
Not all foundation mistakes are the same, but three aspects of philanthropic investing are mistakes that can be avoided. First, foundations mismatch their reach and their resources. They sometimes overreach in the ambition of their investments, thinking they alone can address the complexity and scale of important social issues. Conversely, foundations sometimes underperform by not taking substantial risks on behalf of change and innovation. Secon…

Jobs, Wealth, or Place
Multiple and conflicting practices characterize the field of community economic development. Much of the debate about these practices revolves around different understandings of the importance of jobs, wealth, and place. No overarching definition, typology, or theory, however, offers a plausible way to resolve these conflicts about community economic development goals, levers of change, and practices. One promising approach engages the complexity…
Designing Economic Development Incentives
This article explores how the overall policy system affects the operation of economic development programs by presenting a case study of the City of Chicago's Industrial Development Bond (IDB) program between 1977–1987. By comparing Chicago IDB recipients with a representative group of Chicago manufacturers, this case study reveals that IDBs went to a self‐selected group of manufacturers of larger size, that were already growing, but belonged to …
The Social Organization of a Land-Based Elite
Growth machine theorists argue that metropolitan development patterns represent the concerted activities of powerful growth coalitions who manipulate public agendas and guide local development, devoid of public accountability. This article investigates the organization and activities of the Chicago growth coalition which promoted a large development project—the 1992 World’s Fair. Using interlocking directorates, it examines the corporate and inst…
