October 9, 2013
Post Carbon Fellow and author of Local Dollars, Local Sense Michael Shuman’s talk in Blaine County was reported in the Idaho Mountain Express.
From the article:
Michael Shuman, the author of Local Dollars, Local Sense, was the keynote speaker at the daylong conference attended by more than 200 people at the Sun Valley Inn.
Shuman said there is substantial “leakage” of local spending outside the area due to an insufficient variety of things being produced here. When he asked how many people were putting their pension money into local businesses and only a few hands went up, he said, “That is outrageous.”
