"Local" has become synonymous with good. Trevor Latimer's engagingly written and provocative book acknowledges that some things that are local are good, but denies that what's local is always or even often better than what's far away. He exposes the supposed "virtue" of localism as a hodgepodge of weak arguments and misleading hunches.
