5.4 Interest & Tears: the Cost of Free Money & the Value of Social Capital
Canada is behind our peers when it comes to Community Wealth Building. We don't do much of it, because we haven't put the systems in place to do it. So when it happens, it takes a miracle of savvy, collaboration and effort. Yet when it happens, social and economic benefits spring forth! Not fixing this gap is costing us! What the cost can look like, to what the fix might be! The opportunity to do better is knocking with the Federal Government's current call for input into the pending budget.
