When Corporations Rule the World; David Korten; Berrett-Koehler Pub/Kumarian Press; 1996, ISBN: 1887208011, (333p, $16).
"This is a must-read' book - a searing indictment of an unjust international economic order, not by a wild-eyed idealistic left-winger, but by a sober section of the establishment with impeccable credentials. It left me devastated but also very hopeful. Something can be done to create a more just economic order." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate.
