Product Detail Name: Building Wealth: The New Asset–Based Approach to Solving Social and Economic Problems Description: Building Wealth: The New Asset–Based Approach to Solving Social and Economic Problems  Product Detail: Can local community-based models of ownership work? As this path-breaking report demonstrates, in cities and towns across the United States, they already do. The past few decades have seen rapid expansion of new forms of local ownership to develop business, create jobs, foster local democratic practices, generate tax bases to support public services, and promote stability and community development. In combination with related wealth-building approaches employed by both foundations and governments, these efforts constitute part of an emerging paradigm of employing assets to address social and economic problems. This book, published by the Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program, marks the first across-the-board attempt to survey the development of these approaches – and their strategic interaction – in a comprehensive fashion.  Price: $15.00  Quantity:
