New Essay Examines Disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) December 03, 2015 -- In an essay published today by American City Business Journals, internationally recognized expert on small business and entrepreneurship, Jim Blasingame, reveals why the U.S. economy hasn’t grown from recovery to expansion since the 2008 financial crisis. He poses questions about the direction of 21st century capitalism and warns those who think long term economic growth can be sustained without nurturing “the Golden Goose,” as Blasingame defines it. And he reveals how to get all marketplace participants working together again to avoid the reckoning he warns about.

“It’s time for Corporate America to take a page out of the small business playbook and come back to Main Street,” writes Blasingame. "Long-term performance for the shareholder can only be sustained when prime fealty is to the customer and other Main Street stakeholders, rather than just to the 90 day conference call and the share price."
