Increasingly destructive on every level, the way of Empire is leading to environmental and social collapse. We now face a mounting perfect storm of climate change, peak oil, and the financial instability inherent in an unbalanced global trading system. In \u003ci\u003eThe Great Turning\u003c\/i\u003e, Korten makes the case that we must change course and choose a new future as a conscious collective act. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe cannot avoid the unraveling. We can, however, turn a potentially terminal crisis into an epic opportunity to bring forth a new era of Earth Community grounded in the life-affirming values of ecological integrity, economic justice, community, and democracy. The Great Turning is an essential resource for those who understand this need and are prepared to engage what Thomas Berry calls the Great Work.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community | David C Korten | Paperback | 9781887208086 | Used: Like New | Politics 1588801","offer_id":50641435132162,"sku":"1588801","price":22.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71rT3CjG-9L.jpg?v=1791238257","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/great-turning-from-empire-to-earth-community","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
