The Shop/Eat Local Movement Strategy for Small Towns

In a Local Economy lecture at Carnegie Mellon University, Michael Shuman, author of the The Small-Mart Revolution, talks about the "shop local" and "eat local" movement and the strategy for small towns. A lot of innovative and emerging ideas for small towns are packed into this hour long presentation. I encourage all county planners and business owners to educate themselves about these community level business strategies.
