*Topic: Co-Producing the Core Economy*
*Mira Luna:***"The Core Economy is not Wall Street or Main Street; it is
the economy of family, neighborhood, kith and kin. Recently more and
more economists acknowledge that something like 40-50% of productive
economic activity takes place outside of the market and is not measured
by traditional indicators. But even those percentages do not begin to
convey either the scale or significance of an economic system that is
pervasively ignored. Futurist Alvin Toffler captured the implications of
what economists overlook with a question he puts to CEO’s of Fortune 500
companies: “How productive do you think your work force would be if it
was not toilet trained?” That’s a useful if disconcerting starting point
for re-assessing what we value and measure as “productive labor.”
Your invited to talk about initiatives that make a difference. This is
the perfect opportunity to share ideas. We'll be discussing various
projects that aim to promote a local economy. It's a time to say what's
happening.
