| In this groundbreaking book, David Korten makes a compelling and well-documented case that capitalism's claims to being the engine of wealth creation, the champion of democracy, and the embodiment of the market economy are unfounded. Korten demonstrates that healthy markets are key to creating just, sustainable, and compassionate societies. In contrast to the dysfunctional structures of global capitalism, such healthy markets feature stake-holder ownership; rooted capital; human-scale enterprises; balanced trade; ethical cultures that nurture social bonding and responsibility; and energy-efficient, closed-loop production/consumption systems that function in harmony with local ecosystems. |
