"Do people exist to serve the economy, or does the economy exist to serve people?"
Watch this short interview with David Korten and begin to dream again.
Watch the full episode. See more NOW on PBS.
Watching PBS NewsHour on KPBS Channel 11 last night, I caught a glimpse of something absolutely AMAZING! In a clip from NOW with David Brancaccio.
We are talking about rebuilding community.
"Creating wealth within the community requires life values."We need to get people engaged in their local economy. The power resides in Wall Street, not Main Street, wall street only recognizes FINANCIAL Values.
Alone we can not change the world, but we are not alone. Eighty communities around the USA and Canada, connecting 22,000 businesses and organization, growing exponentially. The potential for a global transformation of the economy is at hand.
"There are two competing paths of 'globalization' one is about CORPORATE Power, the other is about PEOPLE Power. They are diametrically opposed to each other."
If we are we going to evolve our society with the speed necessary to bring our population in balance with the resources and environment of the planet, we need to share our ideas and our knowledge freely.
Business must make a "LIVING RETURN", living owners within living enterprises with the goal of serving community. The real issue is not JOBS, its LIVELIHOOD. The less we are dependent upon the money system, the more we are in control of our lives.
- 1) What is the purpose of the economy?
- 2) What are you doing, today, to create an economy with that purpose?
- 3) How do we create the political power to put Main Street over Wall Street?
