Michael Shuman on Malama Kaua`i Radio Show
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 1:00 pm

Tune into KKCR from 12-1 to hear an interview and discussion with Michael Shuman, author of "The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition," and "Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age."

Themes explored by Shuman include:
Among the themes explored here:

* The key to community prosperity is a vigorous network of locally owned businesses serving primarily local markets—the exact opposite of what most economic developers push.
* Despite all the popular discussion of globalization, worldwide trends (like rising oil prices) are making small, local businesses increasingly competitive.
* Jaw-dropping innovations in small business, whether for-profit or nonprofit, can be found everywhere, and provide compelling blueprints for localization.
* The principal obstacles standing in the way of localization are public policies (like business-attraction “incentives”) that are uniformly tilted against small business.
* Localization can and should appeal to right and left alike, by combining conservatives’ passion for free markets, small business, and small government with progressives’ passion for community empowerment, sustainability, and real democracy.
