“It is a stunning commentary on our time, that most graduates from our institutions of higher learning—even with degrees in economics and business—have no idea how the money system operates as a system of power, and have no intellectual tools to address its role in distorting society’s values, and resource allocation decisions.” —David Korten Part [...]

Part 2; David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, and former Visiting Associate Professor of the Harvard University Graduate School of Business explains in simple, understandable terms, how our money system truly operates in today's global society. Korten argues, understanding the true nature of money "is an essential key to breaking out of the trance", a collective form of psychosis, that propels human behavior toward its own self destruction.

In part one, of this 4 part series, Korten melds economic theory to the built environment (man-made structures that define our local communities and larger society), he argues requires fundamental political, economic, and environmental restructuring in order to avert serious consequences for humankind. Along the way, he summarizes the story of our existence as he has interpreted it from philosophers, religious, and scientific thinkers throughout the ages. Pointing to the preamble to the Earth's Charter crafted at the 1992 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Korton argues this framework provides for an understanding of the type of new world economy that will sustain life for everyone, including that of the natural world, the foundation for all of life?including our species? necessary to prosper.

Agenda for a New Economy Using excerpts from his latest book Agenda for a New Economy, Korten will expose the economic mirage created by Wall Street institutions that led us to believe the economy was expanding exponentially, even as our economic, social and natural capital eroded and most people struggled harder to make ends meet. Korten will offer bold economic reforms and a radical but achievable program that restores and builds on the fundamental strengths of the American economy.
