Abstract
Myths about the future of small towns:
- Towns that are "too small" have no future
- A community's location is key to its survival
- Industrial recruitment is the best strategy for economic development
- Small towns can't compete in the global economy
- The "best people" leave small towns as soon as they can
- The rural and urban economies are not independent
