This changing global picture presents an enormous opportunity for the Great Plains.. The area also has enjoyed some growth in manufacturing, far outpacing the nation and most other regions. One clear indicator of success: personal income growth has also been higher than that seen in the rest of the nation.The French historian Fernand Braudel once noted, “Living standards are always the question of the number of people and the total resources at their disposal.” By this measure, the future for the people of the Great Plains — a relatively small number living amidst vast resources — may well be great indeed.
