A book on local investment
A book on local investment aug 24, 2012

Michael Shuman, in his recent book Local Dollars, Local Sense, presents extensive and concrete examples of local communities that are redirecting the investments of ordinary Americans away from Wall Street and back to local community and small business.

The ideas proposed include cooperative worker-owned businesses, fund investments in small businesses, community banks etc. Some models explain how the returns from investments in local businesses can become higher than stock market investments on the long term. 

Finally, Shuman targets specific regulation for reform and demonstrates how much could be gained from such reform.

Local Dollars, Local Sense, rooted in concrete examples, is a must read for those battling to transform local communities into the more humane and livable places that we all desire and deserve.
