- From Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development": Convergence theory uses planned local resource production and local demand. It values unpaid and part time labour inputs. Production that is not consumed locally may be exported. It avoids divergence from local goals, large scale production and transportation costs. Linkages are around industries producing basic goods. A divergence, or a lack of self sufficiency, is the opposite of convergence. Challenges are assumptions around commodity ownership and political assumptions.
- From Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development": Staple theory is around diversification of an export base. Its backward linkages measure dependencies in the region - a restaurant purchasing local food and labour. Forward linkages measure output sold to other regional sectors. Demand linkage is a measure of how much investment in regional industry produces goods for consumption, investment or government purhcase by the export sector. clarify Leakage measures income flows leaving a community, for example through migratory workers, external input purchases, or externally owned enterprises. Linkages are multiplied by domestic production, and supply side expansion in labour, capital, entrepeneurship, and complementary input (eg technology).

- From Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development": Location theory builds on intrinsic labour and energy costs, and availability of suppliers, comunications, education, training and quality of life and local goernment, eventually beyond natural attributes using technology. It relates to CED through the idea of enhancement.
