Connection Between Markets and the Larger Economy

Welcome to Connection Between Markets and the Larger Economy. 

This forum is about how outdoor style markets affect society involving such things as safety nets, capital formation, human relations, wage rates, cost of living, job opportunities, community development, and flows of information.   

Of course, the connections work both ways.   This forum is also about how the global, national, and local economies affect outdoor style markets through such forces as business cycles, international trade, global networks, new technologies, demographics, regulatory policy, industrial structure, real estate markets, and planning policy.
