- From 503 notes from September 14, 2008: Local initiatives - winter employment (for seasonal workers)
- From Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development": Staple theory is around diversification of an export base. Its backward linkages measure dependencies in the region - a restaurant purchasing local food and labour. Forward linkages measure output sold to other regional sectors. Demand linkage is a measure of how much investment in regional industry produces goods for consumption, investment or government purhcase by the export sector. clarify Leakage measures income flows leaving a community, for example through migratory workers, external input purchases, or externally owned enterprises. Linkages are multiplied by domestic production, and supply side expansion in labour, capital, entrepeneurship, and complementary input (eg technology).
- From MW150126 - The Political Imperative.pdf: Social economies ( community sector): aim to serve their members/community, instead of just profit; not private or public; democratic and participatory for users and workers; priority to people and employment rather than Capital in the distribution of revenue and surplus; based on principals of participation, empowering | enabling, individual and collective responsibility.
- From Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 2 - Ghorayshi, Gradon, Kliewer "Towards a Social Theory in Community Economic Development: Idealizing Community in the Era of Globalization": Accellerating, uneven concentration of capital, wealth, power, resources and growth through globalization have marginalized and depressed populations and regions, such as women and unpaid workers.
- From MW150132 - New Synergies.pdf: New type of co-op: solidarity (Québec) multi-stakeholder ( ROC); classes of "worker," "consumer," "supporting/community."
- From Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity: Replacing workers with machines and trade liberalization (globalisation) has lead to a "race to the bottom" for workforces and wealth distribution, resulting in a loss of social cohesion and marginalization.
