He is a Senior Researcher for Council Fire and Local Analytics, where he performs economic-development analyses for states, local governments, and businesses around North America. Michael has authored ten books and his book The Small Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition, received a bronze prize for best business book of 2006. In this episode, Michael and I explore what &quot;local economy&quot; means, why it is important, how the system is skewed to profit big corporations and how we can make better choices for ourselves for the world.
