Stephen S. Fuller, Ph.D. (Dwight Schar Faculty Chair and University Professor, Director, Center for Regional Analysis, School of Public Policy, George Mason University)
Fuller looks at the economic history of the District of Columbia and the emergence/engagement of its suburbs as the federal city and explores how this administrative center has changed in recent years (starting about 1980) as federal procurement spending and out-sourcing began to drive economic growth as we see it today as the shift to private contracting changed the types of jobs but also as the shifted to the suburbs. The regional economy that has emerged is still closely tied to the federal government; seen by the recent slowing of the region’s economic growth as federal spending is being curtailed. Potential for change is there - the District of Columbia and its suburbs have underutilized assets that will provide the region with the foundation for diversifying its economic base and for emerging as a global business center built on this historic base as the center of the federal government, with the Washington, D.C. of the future becoming more like Tokyo and London than it is today.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
