David Korten: Agenda For a New Economy 3 (video)
“…Earth’s bounty, on which all of life depends, is the shared birth right of all living beings; none of us created it, and none of us has a right to monopolize it.”—David Korten
In this third installment, David Korten, author of Agenda For a New Economy, outlines the steps necessary to create an economy that values life at the utmost, and properly treats money as merely a means for serving a higher purpose. Look more to the ecologist as a guide for creating a sustainable economy than to the economist, Korten advises, for the new economy must adhere to the laws of nature, and to the service of fulfilling human needs.
