Carmine Gorga is engaged in a complex program of interdisciplinary research that he likes to call Relationalism and in the application of his findings in his community, Gloucester, MA. In this collection of essays, Gorga brings together issues of community economic development, poverty, economic justice and peace that can be implemented in Gloucester, right now—and in any other place. While an economist who has reviewed this book has said that the proposed monetary policy is “immensely important,” commenting on one of his other books in economics Gloucester’s very own poet laureate, Vincent Ferrini, wrote that Carmine Gorga “has the answers to universal poverty and the anxieties of the affluent.”
