Fran Korten is former executive director, publisher and contributing editor for YES! Magazine, where she wrote about opportunities to advance a progressive agenda in politics, economics, and the environment. She lives in Bainbridge Island, Washington, with her husband, author David Korten.
She answers the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- The encouraging increase in voter turnout, especially amongst younger people
- The learnings we can take from the “people over profit” Mondragon model in Spain’s Basque region
- The benefits of ranked choice voting in elections, resulting in more collaboration and civil dialogue in the political process
- The positive shift in our respect for Indigenous people
