Agenda for a New Economy Video and Discussion - Mon Apr 13, 7:30 pm

David Korten discusses how pouring money back into the "phantom wealth" of Wall Street will not heal all our economic woes. The "new economy" he envisions is locally based, community oriented, and devoted to a better life for all - not simply increasing the profits of the rich. It is a compelling agenda for our time, as we question how we should change the direction of our country.

After the video we'll focus on our varied and personal responses as progressives and ethical persons living in the midst of changes which are affecting many of us directly and certainly our world society as a whole.

Korten's two prior books are considered classics for sustainable economics: "The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community" published in 2006 and "When Corporations Rule the World" in 2001.
