"New Mexico's economy, like most economies of the Western United States, is experiencing a dynamic shift. Successful participation in the global economy will require an innovation-based workforce in which human creativity is the foremost natural resource. Increasingly, communities in New Mexico and elsewhere compete for investments and jobs, forcing communities everywhere to offer lower wages to gain a foothold. Some refer to this as a 'race to the botoom.' In this global context, using culture as a tool in economic development offers a number of advantages."

The above quote is taken from a report by the Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship (GCCE) which examines findings from research conducted to discover the level of cultural enterprise in New Mexico's economy, and its implications for the health of New Mexico's communities.
