Webinar Title: Economic Capital
Description: Done well, community economic development can enhance all six forms of community capital: natural capital, physical capital, economic capital, human capital, social capital, and cultural capital. An economy focused on development rather than growth, and people and ecosytems, rather than currency, creates a self-sustaining economy that meets all the needs of a community, promotes a better quality of life, and protects the environment. Learn about the three systems of the economy and the basic and non-basic economic models to help develop local self-reliance.
