Updated and expanded ? Including five new chapters By David C. Korten In his new edition of When Corporations Rule the World - David Korten updates the reader as to the deepening human crisis of the global economy. The gap between the rich and poor continues to grow - and the planet continues to be exploited. He writes of the new global citizens movement of activism in response to corporate globalization - the efforts of civil society groups to restructure global economic governance and focuses on the role of spirit and culture in a civil-ized society. (2nd edition - 384 pages - 2001) Building on the electrifying - bestselling first edition of When Corporations Rule the World - this new edition expands and updates Korten's laser-like analysis of how global corporations dominate people and their governments - and the miserable conditions that result when the few rule the many. Korten then shows practical pathways to a realizable future of more just - prosperous - and sustainable societies. ''This book will agitate your mind - elevate your soul - and engage your civic spirit.'' -- Ralph Nader ''When Corporations Rule the World is an absolutely indispensable guide to the new world economy. It is a learned - courageous - and ultimately hopeful book. It provides a blueprint for the process of economic reformation which is essential for the recovery of sovereignty - community - and a right relation to the natural world.'' --Resurgence Magazine For more information - visit Global Exchange's Corporate Campaigns.
