Trosper draws on examples from North and South America, Aotearoa\/New Zealand, and Australia to argue that Indigenous worldviews centering care and good relationships provide critical and sustainable economic models in a world under increasing pressure from biodiversity loss and climate change. He explains the structure of relational Indigenous economic theory, providing principles based on his own and others' work with tribal nations and Indigenous communities. Trosper explains how sustainability is created at every level when relational Indigenous economic theory is applied--micro, meso, and macro. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Good relationships support personal and community autonomy, replacing the individualism\/collectivism dichotomy with relational leadership and entrepreneurship. Basing economies on relationships requires changing governance from the top-down approaches of nation-states and international corporations; instead, each community creates its own territorial relationships, creating plurinational relational states. This book offers an important alternative to classic economic theory. In \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Economics, \u003c\/i\u003e support for Indigenous communities' development and Indigenous peoples' well-being go hand-in-hand.\u003cp\u003ePublication of this book is made possible in part by the Alfred P.
