Summary of No More Throw-Away People - Part One | Timebank Aotearoa New Zealand
The Co-Production Imperative Edgar S Cahn Essential Books, 2nd Edition (2004) Summary by Juliet Adams, Lyttelton Timebank member (2011) In March 1980, Cahn suffered a major heart attack, and hated the thought of giving up his fights for equal justice, and the war on poverty, to become useless, a throw-away person.

Support this fund! Our fundraising campaign is live until November 15, 2013: The Arroyo S.E.C.O. Our loan fund offers low interest, community supported micro-loans to entrepreneurs who create for the love of creating, who believe in quality over quantity and who believe deeply in a responsibility to community. Studies show that locally owned businesses in any community have a greater positive impact on the local economy than national chains and large corporations, because they create more jobs for locals, encourage residents to buy more locally, ease community tension and distress from limited access to goods and services, and they give more to local charities. But most small business owners, especially those in high density urban areas of economic distress, cannot qualify for loans from major banking institutions because their businesses do not meet the lending requirements or priorities for big banks (typically $100,000 or more).
