Civic Issue: Economic Development in the Cities of Vernon and Wichita Falls

Economic development is a multifaceted process involving growth in GDP per capita, improvement in standards of living, and reduction of poverty. Economic development must take into account the needs of agricultural development and food security, human and natural resource development, and the role of women/minorities and all residents of low-income counties, as well as the issues of population growth, healthcare, and ruralurban migration. Appropriate policies at the county and city level are vital to the development needs of the cities of Vernon and Wichita Falls.

Suppose you are the economic adviser to the Cities of Vernon and Wichita Falls, what suggestions would you recommend to effectively promote economic growth and reduce poverty? :

Be sure to address the following in your response:

Agricultural development
Education and the development of human capital (role of Vernon College and MSU)
Crime (Role of the Wichita Falls Police Department)
Healthcare (Role of United Regional Hospital)
Incentives to businesses (to bring jobs to the area).
Investment in physical capital (infrastructure) such as factories, machinery and roads
Format of answer (3 pages)

You must use the Web and other sources (like textbooks, journals, newspapers) for information. You MUST use at least three sources and at least one MUST be a Web source.  You MUST use standard bibliographic form (use any style sheet you like)

Keynes concept of uncertain knowledge

Keynes wrote in The General Theory: If we speak frankly, we have to admit that our basis of knowledge for estimating the yield ten years hence of a railway, a copper mine, a textile factory amounts to little and sometimes to nothing.   Keynes was not talking about periods of economic turmoil or crisis like that we are experiencing now, when confusion about what happens next is obvious to all.   In Keynes view, a state of near ignorance was the normal state of affairs.
 
Please discuss Keynes concept of uncertain knowledge and what it may imply for our ability to (a) measure risk in portfolios of financial assets and to (b) make rational investment decisions.  
 
Given our inability to accurately do the math when we are making decisions about future events with uncertain outcomes, please describe how people {like you and me} actually make those decisions?     What implications may this decision making reality have for the way financial markets actually function?
 
Please cite specific passages from John Cassidys book and Jim Crottys paper to support your arguments in this essay.
