Our Choice: Democracy or Corporate Rule
A handful of corporations and financial institutions command an ever-greater concentration of economic and political power in an assault against markets, democracy, and life. It's a "suicide economy," says David Korten, that destroys the very foundations of its own existence. The bestselling 1995 edition of When Corporations Rule the World helped launch a global resistance against corporate domination. In this twentieth-anniversary edition, Korten shares insights from his personal experience as a participant in the growing movement for a New Economy. A new introduction documents the further concentration of wealth and corporate power since 1995 and explores why our institutions resolutely resist even modest reform. A new conclusion chapter outlines high-leverage opportunities for breakthrough change.

Read this book
Sandra c. - 4 years 5 months agoI love how the author grew up with the opposite stance and when he grew up and did all he could to help america in the way he thought he should, he saw that the world was much different than he originally thought. Great read, interesting, scary, worth every penny.

Great read!
Sandra c. - 4 years 5 months agoSo we'll written and incredibly interesting. I couldn't put this book down. This book took a while to read, but that's what makes it worth the money (as well as the content). I love that the person who wrote it had a completely different worldview before he wrote it and on his life's journey found out a truth with his very own eyes. This is a scary book, but well worth the read.
