  <default_description>In his new edition of When Corporations Rule the World, David Korten updates the reader as to the deepening human crisis of the global economy. The gap between the rich and poor continues to grow, and the planet continues to be exploited. He writes of the new global citizens movement of activism in response to corporate globalization, the efforts of civil society groups to restructure global economic governance and focuses on the role of spirit and culture in a &quot;civil-ized&quot; society.</default_description>
