Economic Theory on the Internet

"Healthy economies depend on the vitality of small communities, just as healthy lungs depend on the vigor of tiny air sacs which form them.

Dollars will thus be strengthened when backed by energetic local currency communities, rather than by the depletion of natural resources and social decay."

                          --Paul Glover, creator of Ithaca HOURS
