Forum 411: "Road to Recovery: Lessons from Arizona's First Economy"

This sixth issue of the Morrison Institute for Public Policy's "Forum 411" series looks at the collapse of the economic underpinnings in Arizona of housing, employment, and financial services, and what it will take for us to recover.
The economic underpinnings in Arizona of housing, employment, and financial services have collapsed, as they have almost everywhere else around the nation, albeit deeper here than in most other states.
Arizona again must have the wisdom and willpower to rebound. But it will take more than a bold vision, although one is needed. It will take follow-through and collaboration – neither of which have been Arizona’s strong suit in recent years – as well as informed public policy based on what we’ve learned from the past, melded with what we already know about the future. In short, Arizona must prepare itself for the next economy.
