Part 4 of 4: Ayn Rand and Neo-Liberal Economic: David Korten PhD

David Korten PhD is an author, a leading voice for economic and social justice, critic of corporate globalization, and one of the most visionary thinkers of our time. He is the author of numerous books, best known for the international best seller, When Corporations Rule the World, which helped launch a global resistance against corporate domination when first published in 1995; the third, updated 20th anniversary edition published in 2015 is now, in 2020, more relevant than ever. His other books include Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth, an analysis of and response to the 2008 financial crash; The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community; and, most recently, Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy for a Living Earth, and writes a regular column for YES! Magazine. David Korten holds MBA and Ph.D. degrees from the Stanford Business School, has served as a Harvard Business School professor and, during the Viet Nam war, as captain in the US Air Force. He has thirty years of experience as a development professional in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, which opened his eyes to the devastating consequences of an economic system designed to make rich people richer without regard to the human and environmental consequences. While many people refer to Korten as an economist, he is by training and inclination a student of psychology and organizational systems. He is founder and president of the Living Economies Forum, co- founder of YES! Magazine, a member of the Club of Rome, and serves on the advisory boards for the

Institute for Ecological Civilization, An Economy of Our Own, the Praxis Peace Institute, and as ambassador for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance. Korten now devotes his life to collaboratively advancing the global transition to a living Earth economy currently underway, organized around deeply democratic, self-governing, living communities in which people work in co-productive partnership with the rest of nature to meet the needs of all. https://twitter.com/dkorten is his Twitter and his website is davidkorten.org.
