Community First Economics - Paperback

In Community First Economics, former New Hampshire small-business owner and gubernatorial candidate Jon Kiper presents a bold alternative to forty years of trickle-down economics. Drawing on his experience running a Main Street restaurant, serving in local government, and struggling to afford housing in the community he loves, Kiper exposes how today's economy threatens stability, family life, and democracy itself. With practical insights and real-world solutions, he shows how communities can reclaim control over their economic future by strengthening local businesses, making housing affordable, and putting people before corporate profits. This book is a roadmap for building an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
