We celebrate this month’s Local Legend, author and visionary David Korten, founder and president of the Living Economies Forum; co-founder and board chair emeritus of YES! Magazine. He served on the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) founding board of directors.
He is the author of When Corporations Rule the World, The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism, The Great Turning, Agenda for a New Economy, and Change the Story, Change the Future.
“What would a society that loves life—rather than money—look like? We do not have to guess. Over the past decades, people worldwide have been articulating the principles of just such a society.” ~ David Korten
As AMIBA celebrates its twenty-fifth year, we added a new section to our newsletter celebrating the entrepreneurs who created legacy businesses. These long-standing enterprises strengthened their own communities while feeding the entire local economy movement.
