The Main Street Journal: Inspiration to Move Your Money from Wall Street to Main Street
April is Move Your Money: Bank Local, Invest Local Month
The Main Street Journal, a weekly online newsletter published by local economist Michael Shuman, aims to inspire more of us to shift some of our savings and investments from Wall Street to Main Street.
“We have published hundreds of stories and dozens of interviews capturing what is new in the local investment movement—not just in the United States but worldwide,” shared Michael. “There are dramatic developments in the types of funds being created, in the ways communities are using local investment tools, and in proposed new crowdfunding laws.”
Some of the diverse topics featured this year include pre-selling, public banking, and local milling. Read on to learn a bit more about each topic.
We want to learn how your community celebrates Move Your Money Month. Please share your inspiration!
