Localized, regional economies are the most effective method to combat corporate feudalism. BerkShares has had a local currency since 2006 and initiatives like this are needed to combat a monopolized state. Local credit unions, Farms, Restaurants and land trusts must be pursued at all times as one, it will protect your town from being consumed by corporate interests and two it is the most effective path to independence.

Every day you should be thinking about how best to keep your dollar in New England and out of Washington and NYC

In recent years, I have HEAVILY shifted my purchasing priorities to favor quality over quantity and local over distant. I am a happier person for having done so. I do not think the berkshares thing has been very successful, but I like the idea.

It's "economies" and "restaurants."
