Synopsis

Despite record profits and low interest rates and inflation, the mainstream economy fails to meet the needs of many Canadians. Yet there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon: a growing grassroots movement called community economic development (CED). These efforts encourage citizens to take action for social and economic development. MacAdam offers practical suggestions for individuals and groups who wish to participate in community economic initiatives.

About this title

Review

"Murray MacAdam's Book coherently brings together four essays of his own with eight by other Christian social activists. The object is to promote a particular economic strategy--community economic development (CED)--as a way of living the gospel in our time. And what lucid, well-crafted chapters! Each describes actual, ongoing, economically successful grassroots projects that give shape in readers' minds to a general concept of CED and persuade readers of its worth (...) Because of its breadth, clarity, readability and practicality, From Corporate Greed to Common Good should be top choice for study clubs and discussion groups in parishes and congregations across Canada. The book should be ordered in bulk". -- Catholic New Times
