Welcome and Prospectus

To: The Blogosphere

From: Ryan Brown

I welcome you to my new blog on the topic of innovations in investments. This satisfies my requirement for a class I am taking called "Using the Social Web for Social Change," however I sincerely plan on maintaining this long after this term.

I settled on the topic of "Innovative Investments" because it encompasses many areas of research I have been doing for other projects. I plan on discussing existing and conceptual tools for catalyzing local and responsible investing. The discussion will likely include debt and equity investments in the traditional sense, however I plan on defining investing broadly to include the support of local living economies as well.

Thanks for reading!
