Authors and Activists Noam Chomsky and Derek Jensen to present Keynotes at Econvergence Conference October 2nd-4th!

Join us for a two part series where we will explore the roots of the current economic crisis and ways to respond by building real wealth in our communities. We will use David Korten’s new book Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth as the starting point for our discussion.
