About the Author
Review quote
“If you secretly wonder why the hyped promise of capitalism doesn't match the all too common and difficult struggle to make ends meet you will be fascinated by this account of where our economy went wrong and how we can change. Korten makes the economic principles that got us where we are today plain, simple , and accessible.”
-Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life
“Korten argues convincingly that Adam Smith would be appalled by much that Wall Street has done in recent decades, and he raises a host of provocative quesions about the emerging global economic order. Not everyone will agree with Korten's answers, but everyone will be enriched by considering his questions.”
-Denis Hayes, Chair and CEO, Earth Day 2000
“The Post Corporate World does for our view of corporatism what Betty Friedan did for our view of women and Rachel Carson did for our view of the environment. . . . Passionately and gracefully written. . . it will twist your mind about the world and how you are living in it.”
-Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Empowered Manager
“A refreshing signpost for the future.”
-Professor Klaus Schwab, President, World Economic Forum, Geneva
“If you want to understand what is really happening in the world, read David Korten. The Post-Corporate World points to what must come next if human beings ard other creatures are to have a livable future.”
-John B. Cobb, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Religion, Claremont Graduate School, and coauthor of For the Common Good
“An earthshaking book-a product of brilliant thinking from one of history's most groundreaking intellecutals and activists.”
