$15 at the door, $10 before May 18 from: Living Earth www.livingearthgatherings.org 503.788.7311 David Korten, author of the classic international best seller When Corporations Rule the World, and The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism will be in Portland on May 25th discussing his ground-breaking new book, The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community. In this presentation, Korten will provide a powerful framework for understanding the importance of turning away from 5,000 years of history marked by domination, violence and war to a cooperative civil society motivated by the sustainability of life and nature as defining values. Korten’s remarkable historical perspective is immensely informative, and his vision forward shows us all that another world is possible. Jim Hightower says The Great Turning has "the power to turn our country to a more positive course" and Dennis Kucinich calls it "a clear blueprint for a powerful emerging majority." A former Harvard Business School professor, Air force captain, and USAID advisor, David Korten has more than thirty years of hands-on experience living and working in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. He has authored numerous books, including When Corporations Rule the World and The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism. He is co-founder and board chair of the Positive Futures Network, publishers of Yes! Magazine and serves on the board of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economics.
