[美國趨勢: Artisan Economy]
[A joyful reward for myself after 4 hours of studying Accounting]
今天來聽美國知名新聞廣播電台NPR其中一節目"Marketplace"裡面的首席經濟編輯(Chief Economics Editor) Chris Farrell, 談"artisan/creative economy(手工(工匠)/創意經濟學)."
Artisan Economy在美國正蓬勃興起.......精釀啤酒(craft beer)就是一例. 因為網路, 全球化, 讓這些發源當地(local)&有道德良知(ethic)的創意中小企業不斷發展中.
而令我感到訝異的, 是這些artisan創業家裡, 竟然有不少是55歲以上的人士. 他們本著身為在地社群的一份子, 用自己的一分力量, 利用創業來回饋鄉里, 同時提供了不同於大量製造(mass production)的商品, 在滿足他人的同時, 也賺取了收入, 甚至能夠將業務觸及到世界其他地方.
Mr. Farrell之前在類似的演講有錄音, 可以從這裡來收聽:

In the United States, minority-owned businesses are growing faster than non-minority-owned businesses. Thirty-six percent of all non-farm and non-publicly held businesses are owned by women.
Many of these businesses are small, on average. Yet their economic impact is growing, as measured in jobs, revenue and impact in local communities.
