The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community

David Korten’s inspiring and extensively illustrated presentation of his book The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community. David says we are at a defining moment in all of human history.

“Will future generations know our time …[as] the Great Unraveling, when profligate consumption exceeded Earth’s capacity … and led to an accelerating wave of collapsing environmental systems, violent competition for… resources, and a dramatic die-back of the human population?”

“Or will they look back … on the time of the Great Turning, when their forebears … turned crisis into opportunity, and learned to live in creative partnership with one another and Earth?”
