Korten: "It starts with a defective system that cannot be fixed. It has to be replaced."
We either have the courage or we don't. It's complicated, and yet that simple.

"7 Steps for Action Toward a New Economy," by David Korten.
Several others have pointed the way to this succinct and valuable article, as it appears at the web site of BALLE - Business Alliance for Local Living Economies.
Korten strikes to the very heart of perhaps the most vital issue faced by New Albany as city council elections approach:
Do we continue to out-source "economic development" to oligarchic entities like the GOP and One Southern Indiana, which persist in touting the "economic policies and institutions responsible for Old Economy failure," or do we bring these responsibilities and commitments back into our own houses, right here, by studying, future planning and building New Economy solutions?
Do we persist in groveling while proffering thousands to provide air conditioning at 1Si's behest for a multi-billion dollar foreign corporation, or do we begin using this money to empower our own people to work for economic solutions at home, in this community?
Do we continue to unthinkingly emulate the language of the oligarchs and ape their pieties, which naturally exist to "secure the privilege and extravagance of the few," or do we define our own terms and pursue principled solutions?

7 Steps for Action Toward a New Economy, by David Korten
Hope for our common human future depends instead on global cooperation to create a world in which every child can look forward to a prosperous, secure, and meaningful life irrespective of nationality, race, or religion. This will require replacing the economic policies and institutions responsible for Old Economy failure with the policies and institutions of a New Economy — one based on positive life-values and a democratic distribution of power.
