While the policymakers in the antebellum era cared little for industry, the Republicans and Bourbon Democrats who took control after the Civil War believed that the state government should play a role in diversifying the state's economy. The Progressives of the early twentieth century continued diversification efforts because they saw industry as a way to improve the welfare of Mississippians. Governor Hugh White increased the scale and scope of government intervention following the Great Depression, and the industrially minded governors who followed, facing global competition, prioritized industrialization to improve the state's economy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExtremely thorough yet readable, \u003ci\u003eFrom Nothing to Nissan\u003c\/i\u003e gives readers an overarching history of industrial policymaking and development from the state's foundation through the year 2000. The book also examines the multiyear process to acquire Nissan and build the factory in Canton as well as the human and community costs in building an automobile plant.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCasey Shin\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of politics and law at Rhodes College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45574737952870,"sku":"9781496862549","price":192.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/HrMhm_O0pG9781496862549.webp?v=1777521050","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/from-nothing-to-nissan-industrial-policy-in-mississippi-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
