When Corporations Rule the World
Book • 1995
In this book, David Korten critiques the current methods of economic development led by institutions like the Bretton Woods organizations and argues against the dominance of multinational corporations.
He advocates for a rebalancing of corporate power with concerns for environmental sustainability and 'people-centered development.
' Korten proposes several radical changes, including the abrogation of corporate political rights, taxes on financial transactions, and the promotion of local economies.
The book is a call to action against what Korten terms a 'suicide economy' that prioritizes profit over human and environmental well-being.
