The Economics of Happiness - A documentary about the worldwide movement for localization by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick & John Page October 14, 2011

The Earth and Spirit Council Presents: The Economics of Happiness, a documentary about the worldwide movement for localization by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick & John Page.

An eye-opening film exposing the truth about the real price we pay for a globalized economy, The Economics of Happiness also offers a powerful message of hope for the future.

Both hard-hitting and inspiring, The Economics of Happiness demonstrates that millions of people across the world are already engaged in building a better world – that small scale initiatives are happening on a large scale. The film shows that countless initiatives are united around a common cause: rebuilding more democratic, human scale, ecological and local economies – the foundation of an ‘economics of happiness’..

The film features a chorus of voices from six continents calling for systemic economic change, including David Korten, Bill McKibben, Vandana Shiva, Rob Hopkins, Richard Heinberg, Juliet Schor, Michael Shuman, Helena Norberg Hodge, and Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet’s government in exile.

The screening will be followed by a live video appearance and question and answer session with the film’s producer, Helena Norberg-Hodge.
