When Corporations Rule the World by David C. Korten
5.0
I read this book in my first year of college and it catalyzed my perspective on corporations, placing their rising power in their global and historical context.
Perhaps most critically, Korten emphasizes the role of civil society as a balance to both governments and corporations. This adds a critical third element to an equation that is usually reduced to government vs. the market in the political discourse in the United States. Korten rightly points out that the health of this third pole is critical to the future of democracy all around the globe.
