The global economy has witnessed important changes in recent years.
In the United States, enterprising communities have transitioned
from tobacco farming to growing organic produce, from extractive
fishing to vertical farming, from nonrenewable energy consumption
to the implementation of solar cooperatives -- and have transformed
from impoverished neighborhoods into green development zones. Yet
these promising achievements remain a small part of the total
economy and are largely ignored by policy makers, pundits, and
economists. In Building a Healthy Economy from the Bottom Up:
Harnessing Real World Experience for Transformative Change, Anthony
Flaccavento introduces readers to the innovators who are creating
thriving, locally based economies and provides a road map for
others who are interested in doing the same. He demonstrates that,
despite the success of local initiatives like farmers' markets and
clean energy cooperatives, true and lasting change of this type
stalls without the appropriate discussion and implementation of
public policies that define their lasting impact. He shows how
active citizens can spur essential changes, generate community
capital, increase civic dialogue, and foster sustainability
efforts. Flaccavento skillfully combines economic analysis and
public policy recommendations with practical solutions. His call to
collective action will appeal to scholars, entrepreneurs,
policymakers, community activists, environmentalists, and all
citizens passionate about the health of their communities.
