A Difficult Task

“But creating those values [of a local economy], and the laws and customs that will slowly evolve from them, may be the key task of our time, here and around the world” (McKibben 210). The process of turning the current economy into the local state of growth will be an extremely difficult task. It took the Unites States over one hundred years to transition into what it is now, and reverting the economy back to its original state will not be a quick process. People must become familiar with the idea of a stable local economy before it is possible to actually commence the development. Many people are still unaware of what a local economy can provide. Therefore, we must begin the process with education. Informing the people through classes, conventions and advertisements can help jump start the well needed movement.
