David Korten - The Great Turning

David Korten author of "When Corporations Rule the World" on "The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community" at the Veterans for Peace 2006 National Convention in Seattle



From Serving Money to Serving Life: A Sacred Story for Our Time


When we get our story wrong, we get our future wrong. Much like the Trans-Pacific Partnership "trade deal", everything we are told about capitalism and our economy is a pack of lies. Time for a new story, says preeminent scholar and critic of corporate globalization, David Korten, the best-selling author of When Corporations Rule the World and The Great Turning. David has a brand new book, Change the Story, Change the Future - a Living Economy for a Living Earth. He is the co-founder and board chair of YES! Magazine, co-chair of the New Economy Working Group, founder and president of the Living Economies Forum (formerly the People-Centered Development Forum), a member of the Club of Rome, and a former board member of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) and associate of the International Forum on Globalization.

This Earth Day address was recorded April 22, 2015 at Seattle University Pigott Auditorium.
