Independent businesses in the United States have been under attack in recent decades. Large chains, or "big-box" stores, have dominated the market for nearly every product, in the process homogenizing our once unique Main Streets. Now local communities across the country are fighting back, and Stacy Mitchell is helping to shape the tools. As a staff member of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance she creates effective guidelines for communities struggling to resist corporate invasion. Her lecture describes the application of innovative programs that provide hope for the future of independent business.
