Podcasts about when corporations rule

Charles Eisenstein shares his vision for a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible. He explains why all the crises we experience today, are rooted in the single origin of separation, and how by healing this wound within ourselves, we can heal the world.  Charles dives deep on the importance of energetic intention within any revolution for change, the limitations of labeling things as 'good' and 'bad', and how to alchemize anger into a collective awakening. In this era of change, everyone plays a role. And each person's role is just as valuable, no matter how big or small it may seem. Charles shares the vision of a harmonious collective consciousness, and how you alone can contribute to it. ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 2:37 The Peril of Separation in Our Society 11:31 Why Energetic Intention is Essential for Change 16:35 Transforming Our Anger into Awakening  22:04 Why 'Good' and 'Bad' Labels are a Limitation 26:11 The More Beautiful World That is Possible: A State of Interbeing 29:50 Charles' Personal Experiences & Working with Robert F Kennedy 33:38 How our Purpose is Unveiled to Us 39:57 The Power of a Harmonious Collective Consciousness  43:34 How You Alone Can Make a Difference 46:17 Creating Spaces & Communities to Experience Our New Reality  49:31 Will Things Get Worse Before They Get Better?  54:29 Robert F Kennedy as a Presidential Candidate  58:31 Life is a Gift  1:01:39 Conclusion  ___________ Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.

David Korten (pictured) is known to many people for many reasons, but it was his work as an author that first caught my attention when he published "When Corporations Rule the World". Rather than writing and publishing books, David has chosen to publish his thoughts and papers online and the latest, which warrants reading, is "Ecological Civilization: A global movement of living people of a living Earth".

Produced by KSQD90.7FM “The Web of Meaning” on "Be Bold America!" April 15, 2021 Who am I? Why am I? How should I live? These are some of the oldest questions humans have grappled with. In our modern, high-tech society we may seem to have the answers. After all, hasn't science shown that humans are hardwired for selfishness? That we are separate from nature (which is ours to exploit)? That we do best when left alone to pursue our own individual goals? In his new book, “The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe,” award-winning author Jeremy Lent answers with a resounding “no”—not because he doesn't like these conclusions, but because the latest science shows them to be false. This groundbreaking new book weaves together the latest scientific findings and age-old philosophical insights to show how some of our most ingrained beliefs about human nature and the world are mistaken—and offers a powerful alternative to help us heal a planet in peril. Interview Guest: Jeremy Lent, described by The Guardian journalist George Monbiot as “one of the greatest thinkers of our age,” is an author and speaker whose work investigates the underlying causes of our civilization's existential crisis, and explores pathways toward a life-affirming future. Born in London, England, Lent received a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University, an MBA from the University of Chicago, and was a former internet company CEO. His award-winning book, The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning, explores the way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. He is founder of the nonprofit Liology Institute, dedicated to fostering an integrated worldview that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on the Earth, and he writes topical articles exploring the deeper patterns of political and cultural developments at Patterns of Meaning. He lives with his partner in Berkeley, California. Learn more by visiting: www.jeremylent.com. “One of the most brilliant and insightful minds of our age, Jeremy Lent has written one of the most essential and compelling books of our time. TheWeb of Meaning invites us to rethink at the deepest level who we are as a species and what we might become.”—David Korten, author, When Corporations Rule the World and The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community

David Korten – From Ego-nomics to Eco-nomicsTransition to An Ecological CivilizationAired Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with David Korten, author of “When Corporations Rule the World”, and the “ Great Turning”“If we lose the Earth, there goes our GDP.” — Swami BeyondanandaIn 1972 a book was written that was designed to change the world. The book, the Limits of Growth, was the first report issued by the Club of Rome, an organization founded by Italian industrialist Aurelio Peccei and Scottish scientist Alexander King in 1968. The report warned that economic growth could not continue indefinitely because of resource depletion. It went on to sell 30 million copies in more than 30 languages, making it the best-selling environmental book in history.And yet … here we are nearly half a century later, and experiencing peak everything. The book was remarkably prescient … but apparently had little impact. What happened? And … what can be done about it?Our guest on Wiki Politiki, David Korten, is a member of the Club of Rome, and has devoted his work to bringing about what he calls an “ecological civilization.” Writes David about the “epic choice” we face:We can continue to seek marginal adjustments in the culture and institutions of the Imperial Civilization of violence, domination, and exploitation that put us on a path to self-extinction. Or we can transition to an Ecological Civilization dedicated to restoring the health of living Earth’s regenerative systems while securing material sufficiency and spiritual abundance for all people.Material sufficiency and spiritual abundance – the perfect way to shift from measuring gross national product, to enjoying gross national happiness.Dr. David Korten is the founder and president of the Living Economies Forum; co-founder, board member, and board chair emeritus of YES! Magazine; an associate fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies; and a full member of the Club of Rome.He worked for more than thirty-five years in business, academic, and international development institutions before he turned away from the establishment to become a leading critic of what he calls global suicide economy. He is the author of the international best-seller When Corporations Rule the World, along with The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth and Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy for a Living Earth (2015).If you too recognize our need to make this life-or-death shift and are looking for ways YOU can make a difference, please join us this Tuesday, March 23rd at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.To find out more about David Korten, please go here: https://davidkorten.org/Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

EP. 18 When Corporations Rule the World by John Slade

The explosive growth of this global casino of financial markets is largely as a result of introducing two new games: futures and derivatives trading, beginning in the 1970. Not so long ago, the grave warning of economist John Maynard Keynes echoed loud and clear above the chaotic din of frantic stock market traders: “When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely be ill-done”. Modern critic, David Korten who is author of When Corporations Rule the World, calls this phenomenon “de-linking money from value”. He argues that capital is being diverted away from long-term productive investment in the ‘real economy’ in favour of short-term speculative investment in the ‘virtual economy’. It comes as no surprise that those who are grabbing the lion’s share of the benefits from speculative trading are the same ones that have been roaring for greater deregulation of capital flows over the decades. We look at the worrying side effects of speculative trading and deregulated financial markets.

International best-selling author, speaker, and engaged citizen, David Korten, is a living embodiment of curiosity, compassion and courage, whose wisdom comes from many years of exploration and experience. In early adulthood David devoted his career to ending poverty. Later after holding a faculty position at Harvard he made a permanent break with academia which he says was the most intellectually liberating decision of his life. Fast forward a couple decades after being employed by the foreign aid establishment living and working in Africa , Latin America, and Asia, David completely defected from the establishment after recognizing the captivity foreign aid was actually creating. Eventually, David came to see the connection between the social and environmental devastation he was witnessing abroad and the economic policies practiced and advanced by the United States through its foreign policy, use of military power, and corporate reach. Finally embracing an Earth Centered Living Systems Frame David has since devoted his professional life to applying the lessons of life’s self-organizing evolutionary journey to the quest to displace a global corporate-driven money-seeking suicide economy with a life-serving living Earth economy. David says, “The key to the human future resides in a simple truth that resides in most every human heart. We are living beings born of and nurtured by a living Earth.” International best seller, When Corporations Rule the World is David’s seminal work, In this conversation David and I discuss his most recent book, Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy for a Living Earth; David says, quote. "We will prosper in the pursuit of life, or we will perish in the pursuit of money. The choice is ours."

Listen to this in-depth 30-minute interview with Bainbridge resident and world-renown author, David Korten, at BCB's studio. David discusses his just-published book: “Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy for a Living Earth,” available from Eagle Harbor Books. The interview also reveals David’s passionate commitment to local community. David expresses the many ways in which Bainbridge Island is, and could increasingly be, an outstanding example of a community seeking to achieve social and economic well-being -- with locally owned main street businesses and city policies that preserve a healthy natural environment -- rather than succombing to outside pressures for big-money exploits. And David explains how one local Bainbridge nonprofit business, Yes! Magazine, is telling the stories of people and places that offer hope for change amidst the challenges of our times. David Korten, an internationally-published author and engaged citizen, is co-founder and board chair of YES! Magazine, co-founder and co-chair of the New Economy Working Group, president of the Living Economies Forum. A 20th anniversary edition of his classic best seller When Corporations Rule the World will launch in June 2015. In 2010, inspired by the Occupy movement, he published Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth. David’s April 2006 talk to a standing-room audience at the Bainbridge Performing Arts playhouse, on his then-newest book: The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, was the first event hosted by the then-new nonprofit, Sustainable Bainbridge. David has MBA and Ph.D. degrees from the Stanford Business School, and in his earlier career served as a captain in the US Air Force, a Harvard Business School professor, a Ford Foundation project specialist, and has decades of fieldwork seeking economic development in countries such as Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Philippines, and Indonesia.

David Korten is an economist, author, and progressive activist with a background in international business. He is the president of the Living Economy Forum, co-chair of the New Economy Working Group, co-founder of YES! Magazine, and a member of the Club of Rome. His books include When Corporations Rule the World and The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community. Our conversation covered a broad range of topics from economics to ecology, cultural myths to systems thinking. As you would expect, connections abound: questioning the purpose of an economy ties David's conversation directly to Laura Musikanski, Timothy Morton's mesh returns in a different form, and we hear a bit of the biocentric/anthropocentric tension that appeared in my conversation with Chris McKay.

Part 1: David Korten is the author of the 2009 book: "Agenda for a New Economy" and chair of the board of YES Magazine. He is probably best known for his famous anti-globalization book: When Corporations Rule the World. He argues that pouring trillions of dollars in bail-out money into the Wall Street institutions that created the crisis does nothing to repair the failed economic system.In this speech, given in March 2009 at the NW regional conference of Veterans for Peace, he analyzes two major flaws of the current economic system and points to ways to replace them. One is the monetary system, the other the concept of ever increasing growth, measured as GDP.DownloadDavid Korten's website is http://www.davidkorten.orgSource: TUC RadioAired: 4/29/09 12:00 AMThis podcast is an aggregate of audio files freely available online.
