Economic Perspectives
http://econpers.wordpress.com
The Economic Perspectives blog was founded by its publisher and editor in August of 2008, Hopeton Hay, to provide a wide variety of information on small business, economics, banking, and finance trends and resources that can empower main street and underserved communities.
The blog grew out of a radio show Hopeton started in July of 1995, also called Economic Perspectives, which broadcasts on KAZI 88.7 FM in Austin, Texas every Monday from 5:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. The radio show features a diverse array of interviews with book authors, entrepreneurs, government and nonprofit officials, that share their knowledge, resources, and experiences that can educate, inspire, and empower listeners. Most shows are made avialable as mp3 files online.
