Excerpt from Planning for the South: An Inquiry Into the Economics of Regionalism The present volume, which attempts to answer this question, is a plea for regionalism by a man without a region.

Excerpt from Planning for the South: An Inquiry Into the Economics of Regionalism The present volume, which attempts to answer this question, is a plea for regionalism by a man without a region. My residence in the South dates from September, 1938. With the exception of the first eight years of my life in Colorado and the next eleven in Baltimore, I have never spent more than five years in any one place; more than ten years were spent in various parts of Europe. My regionalism is thus intellectual rather than emotional. Nor is it the result of any sudden conversion. Are there any students who were privileged to sit under Frederic Jackson Turner who are not regionalists? His lectures made a deep impression on me in my graduate school days. His doctrines appear to me to have gained in validity throughout the years. I have more and more come to see our own Federal Union as a magnificent and continuing experi ment in the art of harmonizing profound and desirable economic and cultural diversities, regional in character. The regions of the United States, as Turner pointed out, are potential nations. In a sense, therefore, this is a study in international relations.
