You are poor enough to want it and smart enough to do it."
 �Dr. Moses Coady
Created a solid economic foundation.
coops formed to keep dollars created locally in the region.
Economic innovations created worker "ownership":
For instance the financial institutions known as Credit Unions
defined people with financial deposits as "owners" not "customers"
.
Other creative economic programs were:
Industrial Workers' Programs,
Cooperative Housing,
Women's Programs,
Farmers Coops,
Canadian Atlantic Fishermen

All demonstrated the power of community capacity building to increase the human potential of the area and empowered the people through community economic development. A transformative and radical method of Adult Education which survives today.
