Description
Calvin Helin, The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance | http://www.ruthsimkin.ca/
Raised in a poor Native American village, Calvin Helin witnessed firsthand the affects of economic dependency among indigenous people and recognized that the principles are universal and not limited to poor minority groups. In his new book, The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance, Helin speaks to what he calls "the most deceptive pandemic of the 21st Century," providing a plan for transforming economic dependency into healthier outcomes across all echelons of society - from minority groups, to middle class Americans. He offers crucial and timely strategies to eliminate welfare dependency, advocating self-reliance, individual responsibility, policy reform and cultural awareness to reframe debilitating mindsets - across social, political and class lines. Helin is an attorney, entrepreneur and recognized authority on global poverty. Discussion points:
