The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism

by David C. Korten · 1999

+ Want to read

There is a deep and growing gap between the promises of the new global capitalism and the reality of insecurity, inequality, social breakdown, spiritual emptiness, and environmental destruction left everywhere in its wake. This book looks at what went wrong and why, drawing on insights from the new biology and our growing understanding of living systems to propose a solution - an economy that takes market principles seriously.
