Abstract
Abstract Since the development of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) in 1965, Appalachia has been subjected to top-down, nodal development strategies that have, at best, produced mixed results. This article presents a critical analysis of modernist-based development within West Virginia and argues the need for a radical rethinking of economic development theory within the state. More specifically, this paper considers the potential of economic distributism, as experienced through Spain’s Mondragon Cooperative Corporation, as a viable and sustainable economic development alternative for West Virginia.
