The Small-Mart Revolution
The Small-Mart Revolution
Author, attorney and economist Michael Shuman describes how small, local businesses are emerging as the most effective means of building community prosperity, creating opportunity and building a good quality of life.
He and Bill McKibben are co-authors of the new book "The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition" that describes how small businesses provide a better quality of life to many more people than we knew. Small businesses offer people the chance to contribute to their communities in so many fundamental and unexpected positive ways: by buying from locally-owned businesses - or by owning a local business - both are "Voting with Your Money"!
