Develop more ways for all of us (the 99% of “un-accredited” investors) to invest in local businesses and regional economies. With effective local investment choices (from local investment funds and stock exchanges, to community ownership, to changing the focus of pension funds) much of America’s $30 trillion long-term savings could securely support local economies.
