Abstract

Western U.S. boomtowns accompanying energy production are a form of capitalist uneven development. The complexity of local boomtown struggles arises from traditional class composition, from sectoral competition, and from the potential appropriation of rent within regionally specific political and cultural institutions. The paper charts potential class alliances within and across regions, given the strength of various features of the development process.
