This article argues that, in the mid-nineteenth century, the American merchant community created local commercial organizations to propagate a vision of economic development based on republican ideals. As part of a “business revolution,” these organizations attempted to balance competition and cooperation in order to promote and direct the expansion of national markets and commercial activity throughout the country. Faced with the crisis of divergent sectional political economies and committed to the belief that businessmen needed a stronger political voice, merchant groups banded together to form the National Board of Trade, an association devoted to creating a unified commercial interest and shaping national economic policies.

Economic Development Policy

The broad concern of this paper is the development of modes of cooperation in competitive contexts. The concrete vehicle for examining this is local economic development policy in the United States, in particular the projects of inward investment that have been its primary expression. This foregrounds the character of social organization as necessarily spatial organization: organization in this case for mediating inward investment. The paper shows how the socio-spatial contexts of agents result in problems of social integration and how they influence the particular forms of cooperative structure adopted in order to solve those problems.

Competitive Economy

The work deals with competition and cooperation as mutually conditioned and complementary, with the framework of the most important changes in the world. It also emphasizes their strategic and dynamic character. In contemporary conditions, the economy functions with the possibilities of choices of some kinds of regulative mechanisms. One is market mechanism, the other one is the willing cooperation, the third is of the administrative-hierarchical character. In the situation when the other mechanisms are unacceptable or insufficient efficient, cooperation is considered to be an optimal mechanism both in developmental and cultural sense. Cooperation should provide a contribution to the economic development, with a view of building a competitive economy and competent institutional segment.
