P Economic Systems

摘要

Revised and updated second edition presents a locally owned, community-oriented alternative to the corporate Wall Street economy based on shared, democratic, and ecologically sustainable "living enterprises." Discusses looking upstream; modern alchemists and the sport of moneymaking; a real-market alternative; more than tinkering at the margins; what Wall Street really wants; buccaneers and privateers; the high cost of phantom wealth; the end of empire; whether greed is a virtue and sharing is a sin; what people really want; at home on a living Earth; new vision, new priorities; seven points of intervention; finding alternate ways to meet the needs that Wall Street fulfills; a synthesis of the New Economy policy agenda in the form and style of a presidential economic policy address; how ordinary citizens can be leaders in forming the New Economy; a visionary president meeting realpolitik; how culture shapes individual and collective behavior and how social movements can use the power of authentic cultural stories to turn the course of history; and learning to live, living to learn. Korten is founder and president of the People-Centered Development Forum. Index.
