Through a detailed analysis of the automotive industry, the book investigates the reasons why localities choose to make deals with private capital. It provides a global and historically informed perspective on the shift toward entrepreneurial local governance. This work is essential for those studying urban sociology and the changing landscape of business recruitment and economic policy in the modern era.
