Henry Ford says minimum wage drives prosperity. At our public forum, Institute_ICP's MIlway disagreed. Comment? bit.ly/uG99b7

Chapter 7 of David Brooks' 'Social Animal' a must read for anyone interested in what inequality / poverty does to society's prosperity.

Our goal is to expand opportunity, Mr. Brooks! nyti.ms/sqTjD5 #prosperingtogether

Where does your income fit into the inequality divide??? Check out this neat tool by @MacleansMag @prosperingtogether

'Happy ppl do creativity best' - Angus of Wpg chamber of commerce. Hmmm why about Picasso's blue period, @Creativity4can ? #AC2011Winnipeg

'Canada has to compete on brains.' Like idea of 'Renaissance engineers.' #stevejobs @Creativity4can

@Creativity4can maybe we should combine forces: inequality, poverty and the CREATIVITY-based economy. #AC2011Winnipeg

hmmmm Alan Freeman @Creativity4can panel suggests 'creativity-based economy' vs. 'knowledge-based' b/c no 'ignorance-based econ.'

Amazing stat @Creativity4can panel: 800,000 creative workforce jobs in Canada. Human capital critical. #ProsperingTogether

Novel idea from @Institute_ICP's Milway too: tax on consumption rather than income. #AC2011Winnipeg

John Curtis' novel rec to federal govt: task force on economic & social policy. Big ideas @ #AC2011Winnipeg

Take note Canada. Germany has one of most inflexible labour markets, but highest exports. #prosperingcanada

And biggest problem in today's economy is low aggregate demand.

Great point by @CCPA's Yalnyzian on minimum wage: at micro level, reduces demand. But at macro level, increases aggregate demand.
