Episode Description

Pete McCown is a man on a mission. With a successful portfolio of experiences in fundraising and higher education administration, destiny came calling ten years ago when he was asked to lead the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, Indiana.

His mission? To demonstrate the primal force a community foundation can be in the lives of others. He’s succeeding admirably.

In ten years, Pete has grown the foundation’s assets five-fold. The Elkhart County Foundation is now one of the nation’s top 100 community foundations. No mean feat.

For Pete, it’s about much more than money. The Foundation isn’t the collector of donor advised funds with “nowhere to go.” Rather, it’s a vibrant organization that is actively improving and enriching the lives of those it touches. He’s taken leadership positions in the area that bridge philanthropy with business development.

In his conversation with Larry, Pete describes that he sees in the future and how the Foundation can become the model for community foundations everywhere.

Principles of Economics, Book 4: The Agents of Production by Alfred Marshall Loyal Books Principles of Economics was a leading economics textbook by Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), first published in 1890. Marshall began writing the book in 1881, and he spent much of the next decade at work on it. His plan for the work gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic thought; the first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant economic textbook in England for a long period. The second volume, which was to address foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, taxation, and collectivism, was never published at all. This reading is based on the eighth edition, published in 1920.
