Publisher's Synopsis
The concepts in The Economic Mission ended starvation in an extremely impoverished town. Jim Weber built a modern textile factory in the isolated town of Praville, Haiti where starvation was rampant. There were no other factories within 60 miles. In spite of not having electricity, paved roads or running water, the factory paid 104 employees a significant wage and was still able to win customers from sweatshops. Fortune 500 companies ordered shirts by the shipping container. The Economic Mission mixes his personal anecdotes, the lessons he learned and reveals how he did it. The ripple effect of weekly payroll sustained the entire town. Starvation diminished and thousands of the town's citizens were climbing out of extreme poverty as defined by the UN. These concepts are applicable to other missions and countries worldwide. As Haiti slid into disarray, a terrorist group destroyed the factory on September 6, 2022, but Jim is continuing his mission.
