“A local economy values relationships over transactions. Doing business locally depends upon and builds social capital and longer-term thinking; conducting transactions long distance promotes anonymity and facilitates short-term profit-taking.”
--Woody Tasch, Founder, Slow Money |
"A Local Economy enables care. You cannot care for a nation or a continent or a stock market index, but you can care for a piece of land and a watershed, a neighbor and a community.”
