On this conversation, Charles "Chuck" Marohn, the founder and president of Strong Towns, explains why promoting entrepreneurship has a much different impact on the overall wealth of a community than pursuing national mercantilist capitalism. It not only allows ordinary citizens to pursue their dreams; it works organically to create places where people want to be. Plus, it keeps capital in your local market. He explores the benefits of encouraging this brand of entrepreneurship and offers some guidelines to help you set your community up to prosper over time.
