Interview with Ted Howard

Posted by on July 02, 2012

What comes to mind for you when you think about independence?

As we reflect on the anniversary of the founding of this great country of ours, watch this interview I recently conducted with Ted Howard, executive director of The Democracy Collaborative. Ted talks about how to bring independence to communities around the country by creating cooperatives and leveraging buying power to empower residents to live in a truly democratic society.
