The invited articles touch on the myriad drivers of the state's rapid growth (energy, exports, low taxes), but they also focus on the challenges that need addressing if Texas is to remain vibrant. The volume is not a compendium of Texas boosterism but rather of clear-eyed research and recommendations to assure future economic success for all Texans.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Kathleen Cooper, Director of International Politics and Economics, Tower Center, Southern Methodist University, USA; former Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, US Department of Commerce; Chief Economist, Exxon Mobil Corporation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"Rather than providing simply an overview of Texas' 'oil economy,' Ten-Gallon Economy examines the people and socioeconomic conditions as well as the energy and non-energy components of the state's economy in the past, present, and future.
