Empowering homeless, those in poverty, those experiencing inequality to create wealth via fixed income stocks and stocks; K-12 does not teach this! Were you thought about creating wealth in Kinder, 1st grade, 2nd grade, etc? Dissertation study: Social-Networking Strategies to eradicate poverty, homeless, childhood hunger and inequality from Silicon Valley
Great vision here, and so important for all nations. At Village Power Finance we are helping low and high income communities alike band together to finance local renewal energy assets. We welcome additional communities and investors to build local wealth around the world.
From my perspective in the CED field over 20 yrs, “economic development” is typically viewed in business development terms, which focuses upon private sector values, i.e. wealth creation, asset building, property ownership, which is fine, but it isn’t “economic development”.
Economic development is a public term, meant to steadily increase standards of living & quality of life outcomes, in real, inter-generational, socioeconomic terms. For all the billions of public funds spent in the name of “economic development” (or CED), leveraging private partnerships, where are the corresponding public outcomes? Why do we see “economic growth” & a “health economy” via the built environment model but endemic structural poverty?
In short, we need a new socioeconomic paradigm, but for this to happen, we need leadership who better understands CED, which leads to better public outcomes considering the massive amounts of public funds spent in the public’s name.
