Overview"After explaining why local development is a problem in such a wealthy and resource-rich country as the United States, Christopher Gunn profiles more than two dozen organizations ranging from child-care co-operatives to retirement communities, from co-housing ""villages"" to financial institutions. He also investigates public-policy changes that could strengthen this alternative sector's contribution to economic development."
