Agenda for a new economy : from phantom wealth to real wealth / David C. Korten San Francisco : Berrett-Koehler Publishers, c2009 xiii, 196 p. ; 22 cm. BK currents book Includes bibliographical references (p.188-193) The case for a new economy -- The case for eliminating Wall Street -- Agenda for a real-wealth economy -- Change the story, change the future Today's economic crisis is the worst since the Great Depression. However, as David Korten shows, the steps being taken to address it do nothing to deal with the reality of a failed economic system. Korten identifies the deeper sources: Wall Street institutions that have perfected the art of creating "wealth" without producing anything of real value: phantom wealth. Our hope lies not with Wall Street, Korten argues, but with Main Street, which creates real wealth from real resources to meet real needs. He outlines an agenda to create a new economy--locally based, community oriented, and devoted to creating a better life for all, not simply increasing profits. It will require changes to how we measure economic success, organize our financial system, even the very way we create money.--From publisher description Wealth United States United States Economic policy 2001-2009 United States Economic conditions 2001-2009 BK currents book 0 0 0 0 10000 10000 2019-09-04 51.28 0 HC106.83 .K67 2009 0000047585 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 51.28 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 46401 46407 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*4900*5040*5050*5200*6500*6510*6511*8300*9991
