A PARTIAL LIST OF ECONOMIC GARDENING LISTSERVE MEMBERS
  • The subject is an entrepreneurial approach to economic development.
  • This is a very old list (since the early ‘90s) and many people have been on it a long time.  But the number of new participants is growing almost geometrically.  A lot of us know each other but the quality of the new people joining is exciting.
  • The list has nearly 500 people now although the number of countries has dropped down to 14.  Most participants are from the US, Australia and Canada.
