In this interview Korten said "the starting point is to come together around a common story: We are living beings born of and nurtured by a living earth." Hence repeating and sharing this story over and over in as many ways and forums as we can changes how we interpret our reality to the point of the majority of us living this story in our daily lives.
Living beings in a living earth labor to maintain and support each others existence, so labor is literally the foundation of how it works. This means that the benefits of our labor should go to those who labor, not to some exploitative system where the owners of capital get the majority of the fruits of our labor with no regard for that labor or the living system which provides the resources. Hence worker owned and democratically run business is aligned with this new story.
By changing our story we can and will change our society and our representatives to implement an agenda resonant with this story. Change the Story, Change the Future is the name of Korten's book so let's get busy changing it.
