Author David Korten has a vision for a world run not by financial speculation but by “real” wealth– anything that contributes to a healthy planet and happy communities. He talks with host Steve Curwood about how Wall Street creates and controls wealth. His new book is “Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth.”
