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:

The pitfalls of economic dependency / How to take the first step toward self-reliance The Welfare Trap: What the Native American community teaches us about the effects of economic dependency The four types of economic dependency & how to recognize when it becomes a problem The Culture of Entitlement: Understanding the effects of middle class "Affluenza" Why welfare doesn't work From Aid to Self-Sufficiency: How we can overcome a culture of aid dependency
