Economies, Communities and Love

Anthony Flaccavento gives the inaugural presentation titled Economies, Communities and Love: Renewing the American dream from the Ground in February, 2011, launching a new Community Voices series sponsored by Virginia Tech University.

This may be the best piece I’ve seen on local living economies. Anthony truly gets it on every piece and is a gifted communicator. This is great for community education. Watch it, share it, use it.
