DESCRIPTION
One of Future Survey's Super 70 books
David Korten challenges capitalism's claim to being a means of creating wealth and a champion of democracy as he examines the fissure between the promises of the new global capitalism and the realities of financial insecurity, inequality, social breakdown, and environmental destruction. Rejecting the inevitability of our current trajectory, he proposes an alternative: a system of democratically governed market economies capable of creating just and sustainable societies.
