Please share with your networks!

Dear Friends,

You may have heard that YES! co-founder David Korten has an exciting and
timely book coming out today. Could you help us spread the word by posting
this announcement to your mailing lists and favorite websites? February 3rd
is the official publication date -- and the more orders the book gets on and
around that date the better for building momentum. You'll see more details
from the publishers, Berrett-Koehler, below.

Thanks for anything you can do!

-- Susan

==================

Help us spread the word about a new book by best-selling author David Korten
-- Agenda for a New Economy.

The first 100 days of the current presidency will be the most heavily
scrutinized in history, and the number one concern for the new
administration—and the vast majority of Americans—is the financial crisis.
Thought leaders from around the world have been adding their own solutions
to the noise surrounding this crucial issue. Desperation has driven many to
support stop-gap approaches that are just re-infusions of lifeblood capital
into the dying appendages of Wall Street—treating the symptoms rather than
curing the disease.

David Korten has a better idea:
Dismantle Wall Street, and its foundation of phantom wealth, spinning gold
from nothing. And bring into being a new economy—locally based, community
oriented, and devoted to creating a better life for all, for generations to
come.

Please show your support for a new economic agenda:

1)  By purchasing a copy of Agenda for a New Economy on February 3. Our goal
is to rally behind the ideas in the book, to show that America is fed up
with the existing system and that there is a better way.

2)  By spreading the word  ...

•       Tell your community about Agenda for a New Economy. Send an alert
over your email list, e-newsletter or social network on February 3.
•       Blog about the ideas in Agenda for a New Economy on February 3.
•       Post excerpts and start a discussion.
•       Tell your friends and family!
