- catalog abstract "In a well reasoned analysis, Korten exposes the harmful effects of economic globalisation, sets out the underlying causes of today's social, environmental and political crisis and outlines a strategy for creating localised economies. In this book, 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.".
