Marketplace Revolution by David LePage

Apr 20th, 2021

It’s time to transcend the dogma and practices of extraction economics that result in social exclusion and income inequality. It’s time for social enterprise, social procurement, and social value finance to converge to create community capital. It’s time for Marketplace Revolution.

In government, business, and community, the tools, practices, pilots, and capacity to make it happen are already in hand. All that is necessary is for us to make the commitment to build the healthier communities we all know are possible and launch the Social Value Marketplace.
