He is a former Fulbright scholar. He is president of Polis-tics, Inc., a community development firm in Gloucester, MA, USA. He has a proven ability to provide ideas, technical assistance, and vision in the field of community development.  Using age-old principles of logic and epistemology, in a book and a series of papers Dr. Gorga has shown how to bend the linear world of economic theory into a relational discipline in which everything is related to everything else--internally as well as externally. He was notably assisted in this endeavor for twenty-seven years by Professor Franco Modigliani, a Nobel laureate in economics at MIT. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Vision</B></div> <bR> <div> Creating community concord via economic and cultural growth. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Mission</B></div> <bR> <div> Carmine starts from in-depth research; he integrates results into development plans; and participates in building coalitions through personal involvement, discussion, and debate. In his range of contacts, interests, and involvements, he is led by a vision of Concordia, a society built on concord. He embodies the idea that social progress occurs when the results of deep research are integrated into the daily life of people. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The Framework</B></div> <bR> <div> Carmine's work can be divided into three areas: fundamental research; action programs he has implemented; and action programs he hopes to implement.</div> <bR> <div> He started his  research with a dissertation on the political thought of Louis D. Brandeis for which he received a Council of Europe Scholarship and a Fulbright Scholarship. He has published scholarly articles and two books, <I>The Economic Process: A Non-Newtonian Instantaneous Picture</I> (University Press of America, 2002) and, with Louis J. Ronsivalli, <I>Quality Assurance of Seafood </I>(Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1988). He is currently working especially on a monograph entitled “The Economics of Jubilation: Toward a Regimen of Economic Rights and Responsibilities." </div> <bR> <div> His past work has been praised by specialists on the right, left, and center of the political spectrum; see www.carmine-gorga.us/id20.htm and www.carmine-gorga.us/id23.htm. His ongoing work has been acknowledged as “full of stimulating and valuable ideas” by Professor William J. Baumol, Professor of Economics Emeritus at NYU and Princeton. And Professor Roger Gordon, Professor of Economics at the University of California at San Diego and Editor of the Journal of Economic Literature, has added: “Given the length of your paper, I would suggest fleshing out your arguments and trying to publish it as a book.”</div> <bR> <div> Carmine's work has invigorated the local arts community, perhaps the oldest art colony in America. The first Gloucester Community Development Corporation, founded by Carmine in 1970, supported the nationally known artist and sculptor, Alfred Duca, in a successful community program in the 1970's and early 1980's that used a multi-media approach as a tool to combat issues of addiction among teenagers. Mr. Duca's project, “Channel 1”, was replicated across the country.</div> <bR> <div> Carmine's efforts have enriched the fishing industry in Gloucester, MA, the oldest fishing port in the country. Most notably, his work with the Gloucester Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries Service in the 70's and 80's made it possible for the industry to introduce fresh (as distinguished from frozen) seafood into national supermarkets (as distinguished from shoreline stores), with ensuing well-known health benefits for consumers nation-wide.This has gradually grown into a multi-billion dollar enterprise.</div> <bR> <div> Working in collaboration with many people, he has been instrumental in creating and/or preserving: two Gloucester Community Development Corporations; the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association; the Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA); Artspace; the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center; the Gloucester Committee for the Arts; and the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts (seARTS).  Some of these organizations have been adopted from other communities and lend themselves as models elsewhere.</div> <bR> <div> For the future, he plans to open a Main Street storefront in Gloucester as a community meeting ground for the discussion of a program of urban and economic restoration. For these proposals, see www.polis-tics.com and <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.gloucestercdc.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.gloucestercdc.org"><U><U>www.gloucestercdc.org</U></U></A></FONT>.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Intellectual Origin</B></div> <bR> <div> Born in 1935, Carmine lived through the Great Depression, and World War II, in Southern Italy. </div> <bR> <div> He enrolled in political science at the University of Naples to try to understand these two phenomena. At first he focused on economic issues: see concordian-economics.org; since the 90's Carmine has been studying the cultural roots of these phenomena as well. Research for him always leads either to a direct action or a proposal for action: see <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.concordians.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.concordians.org"><U><U>www.concordians.org</U></U></A></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> After a summer of intense intellectual struggle with the General Theory, in 1965 he changed one equation in Keynes' model of the economic system and found himself in a completely new intellectual world. He has explored this world ever since. Professor Modigliani helped in this analysis for about 27 years. In addition to a few papers in various journals, he has published <I>The Economic Process: An Instantaneous Non-Newtonian Picture</I> (Lanham, Md. and Oxford: University Press of America, 2002). Only during the preparation of one of his latest papers did he discover, to his astonishment, that all his work in economics is an extension of the mathematization of the Parable of the Talents. Additional information on Carmine's background can be found <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.carmine-gorga.us" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.carmine-gorga.us"><U><U>www.carmine-gorga.us</U></U></A></FONT>.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Impact</B></div> <bR> <div> It is difficult to quantify the effects of Carmine's work. One could count the number of jobs created as a result of his interventions, or the value of pounds of fish sold as a consequence of his economic analysis of the benefits of introducing “quality seafood” into supermarkets. </div> <bR> <div> More interesting might be the evaluation of the experience of people who benefit from the preservation of public transportation on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, or the difference in quality of life experienced by artists living on Cape Ann vs. quality of life of artists living elsewhere. </div> <bR> <div> However, the most important effect is eventually going to be the opening of an alternative community vision--the vision of Concordia--that results from his research on relationalism, Concordian economic theory, economic justice, and economic rights and responsibilities. This is a very long term project. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The Future</B></div> <bR> <div> Carmine hopes to publish his work on economic justice and continue his research on relationalism--an expansion of rationalism; see www.relationalism.net.</div> <bR> <div> Carmine plans to help create the institutional framework to implement a program of economic and urban restoration that, in collaboration with other concerned citizens, he has designed for Gloucester, his hometown. </div> <bR> <div> As in the past, if successful he will spur a younger generation of community leaders to administer the program.  He then hopes to concentrate his attention on how to do peace (rather than to talk about peace), a subject which he has already explored in a few essays.<B> </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Current Activities</B></div> <bR> <div> In addition to being president of Polis-tics Inc., Carmine Gorga has been executive director of the Gloucester Community Development Corporation since the end of 2000. This is a not-for-profit corporation involved in an ambitious program of community development and urban restoration. He is working on this plan<I> </I>in conjunction with experts from areas such as economics, system dynamics, and seafood technology, as well as many political, business, and civic leaders. For details, see <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>ww.gloucestercdc.org</U></FONT>. </div> <div>      </div> <div> Working with political, business, and civic leaders, since 1997 Carmine Gorga has been concentrating his attention on <I><U>A Plan of Urban Restoration</U></I> for Gloucester, MA. He is also preparing much work for publication.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Past Activities</B></div> <bR> <div> During 1962-1965, Mr. Gorga was Economist and Marketing Analyst for A.C. Nielsen in Milan, Italy. He analyzed market share of various products for private corporations within the context of the Italian economy. Made verbal and written presentations to clients in both Italian and English.</div> <bR> <div> In <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >1965-1966, he did academic research on Louis D. Brandeis at Brandeis University.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> During 1966-1968, he was City Planner for Community Planning Services in Boston, Massachusetts. He a<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >nalyzed trends and made projections concerning population, economic base, and physiographic structure of numerous</FONT> communities in New England. Prepared Master Plan for Provincetown. Designed a tridimensional model for the development of the downtown of Provincetown.</div> <bR> <div> During 1968-1973, he was Director of Planning and Economic Development for Action Inc. (the local War on Poverty agency) in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He analyzed the economic base of Gloucester, with special attention to fisheries. He participated in several official committees and was responsible for public relations for the program. Two proposals for a special utilization of the state unemployment compensation fund were incorporated in 1970 in Chapter 79 of the resolves of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A proposal for an integrated transportation system in the eastern section of Massachusetts was adopted by the state Revolutionary War Bicentennial Commission. Designed and obtained funds for four new programs within Action, Inc. Sponsored fisheries development projects. Founded the (first) Gloucester Community Development Corporation. <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >Established Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Organization. Preserved public transportation system on Cape Ann.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> From 1973 to present, as president of Polis-tics Inc., a private consulting firm, Mr. Gorga has worked for a number of private and public, regional and national organizations, with concentration on fisheries development and seafood quality assurance, a project of recognized national importance. Principal clients have been the U.S. Department of Commerce Gloucester Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries Service as well as private concerns and, through association with Joseph Slavin and Associates, he has worked for regional agencies, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), and the Agency for International Development (AID). A major theoretical result of this work was the publication (with Louis J. Ronsivalli) of <I>Quality Assurance of Seafood</I> (van Nostrand Reinhold, 1988). A major practical result of this work was the introduction of fresh fish into the nation's supermarkets, and thus fresh fish--with its attendant considerable benefits for the health and the diet--became available even in the most remote parts of the nation's hinterland.       </div> <div>      </div> <div> Taught three courses in economic development at North Shore Community College. Organized and chaired sessions; delivered papers at 1977, 1978 and 1979 annual meetings of the Eastern Economic Association. In 1982 delivered a paper at the 13th International Conference of the Atlantic Economic Society. In 1982 also participated in the Paper Fair of the Fourth General Assembly of the World Future Society. In 1987 led a seminar on "Promises of Four Marginal Changes in Economic Policy" at the First General Conference of the Greater Boston Chapter of the World Future Society. In continuing consultation with a number of economists, but especially with Professor Franco Modigliani since 1977 and Professor M. L. Burstein since 1978, he has written extensively and in part published works on methodology, economic theory, and economic policy.</div> <bR> <div> From April 1995 to April 1997, Mr. Gorga was Center Scholar at The Center for American Studies at Concord and worked on the implementation of a document entitled the <I>Spirit of Economic Rights and Responsibilities</I>.
