What They're Saying
Critics Review
“If you secretly wonder why the hyped promise of capitalism doesn’t match the all too common and difficult struggle to make ends meet you will be fascinated by this account of where our economy went wrong and how we can change. Korten makes the economic principles that got us where we are today plain, simple , and accessible.”
—Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life
“Korten argues convincingly that Adam Smith would be appalled by much that Wall Street has done in recent decades, and he raises a host of provocative quesions about the emerging global economic order. Not everyone will agree with Korten’s answers, but everyone will be enriched by considering his questions.”
—Denis Hayes, Chair and CEO, Earth Day 2000
