The Rust Belt was once the crown of American manufacturing, a symbol of the countrys economic prowess. But now it is named for what it has become: a deteriorating stretch of industrial cities left behind by a postindustrial world. In Dayton: The Rise, Decline, and Transition of an Industrial City, Adam A. Millsap turns his focus to his hometown, an archetypal Rust Belt city, to examine its history and discuss its future.Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, Millsaps book explores the economic background of the region made famous by J. D. Vances Hillbilly Elegy. From early twentiethcentury optimism, through the Great Depression and postWWII manufacturing decline, to Dayton now, with its laborforce problems and opioid crisis, Millsap tracks the underlying forces driving the citys trajectory. Race relations, interstates, suburbanization, climate, crime, geography, and government policies all come into play as Millsap develops a picture of the city, past and present. By examining the past, Millsap proposes a plan for the future, claiming that there is hope for Dayton to thrive again. And if Dayton can rise from its industrial ashes, then perhaps the Rust Belt can shed its stigma and once again become the backbone of American innovation.
