Sypnosis:
Heresy or a new economic gospel? Author Angus MacIntyre M.A.E, Ec.D., CHRP believes ordinary individuals can help change the world by taking action to defeat injustice, poverty and despair in his or her own small corner of the globe. Change is possible and the book cites solid local examples to demonstrate his philosophy.
North American economies are in crisis. There are few people, regardless of their economic status who are not concerned about the state of the economy. Health, education, the environment and social services are all important to us, and without a healthy economy these can all are put at risk. Yet surprisingly, in the past fifty years there has been little innovation in regards to the question of long term, healthy, sustainable economies. This was the motivation for JOBS ARE NOT THE ANSWER…BUT THEN WHAT IS?
This is a thoughtful, inspirational book that will challenge you to “think outside the economic box.” Whether you end up agreeing or disagreeing with MacIntyre’s innovative approach, reading the book will give you the opportunity to think differently about many important social and economic issues facing us as a society. From grassroots to government, this book rates high for anyone involved in community based economic development or re-thinking development strategies and policies.
