Jonathan Dawson examines the development of the social economy in the
ecovillages of Findhorn in Moray, Scotland and Damanhur in Piedmont,
Italy.
In both examples residents have sought to create small scale
businesses, retain the surplus wealth within their communities through
re-investment, and limit their impact on the environment.
