The Great Turning

From Empire to Earth Community

David C. Korten

David Korten is the bestselling author of When Corporations Rule the World. Now Korten addresses the global corporate empire—where it came from, what its effects are and how we can change it—on a greater scale than has ever been done before. The Great Turning will appeal to the millions of concerned citizens who are searching for alternatives to this global empire.

Drawing on the inspirational results of communities already in practice as well as Korten’s vast experience in international development, The Great Turning is a powerful call for humanity to reclaim our right to shape an equitable, sustainable and positive future.
