North Country Notes

If money alone dictated all of our actions, we would each pick the most lucrative activity and do only that.

The principles of economic specialization and efficiency tell us to do what we are best at and trade for the rest. The same principles supposedly apply to our region as a whole.

But what kind of regional life will these principles lead too? Economic theory leaves no room for the importance of local variety.

Spending locally makes a statement:
Some things are more important than money.
What is important to you? How about fresh food, buyer-seller relationships, and local job variety?

Using North Country Notes lets sellers know that you are spending locally on purpose.
