Local Economies

From Steve B.:

Here are three people / organizations that are heavily involved in the dynamics of local economies through different lenses:

1) Michael Shuman: Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE)

• http://small-mart.org/staff, http://www.livingeconomies.org/

2) Catherine Austin Fitts: Solari

• http://www.dunwalke.com/catherine_austin_fitts.htm, http://solari.com/

3) Debra Rowe: University Leaders for a Sustainable Future

• http://www.ulsf.org/about_bio_drowe.htm, http://www.ulsf.org/index.html

Also, I've copied Sam Rose on this note. His networks are extraordinarily rich about many subjects, including this one. Furthermore, he is a valued colleague on several projects we are doing related to local economies and local food systems. Anyway, he may have some ideas for you, as well.
