Apple, Starbucks, Amazon, Zara, McDonald's - these are some of the
brands and companies that are at the forefront of today's global
economy. They are embedded in virtually every city and town. But
when the global economy goes wrong (as in 2008), it can leave local
communities vulnerable in the form of unemployment and bankruptcy.
This forward-looking book argues for the creation of local
economies as a means of resisting the seismic changes that
globalization often brings, especially in times of crises.
Moreover, research shows that for every GBP100 spent in a local
shop, 45% will remain in the community (compared with only 15% if
spent in retail chains such as Tesco or Aldi). As part of the
design of the future, Elmark argues for the need to break up the
global economy into local economies, so that communities can regain
their independence and be less exposed to the tide of
globalization.
