Local Is Our Future - Steps to an Economics of Happiness

Author(s): Helena Norberg-Hodge

SUSTAINABLE LIVING

Globalization has no future. Political stability is a thing of the past; climate chaos is intensifying; anxiety disorders are of epidemic proportions; extremism and fundamentalism are becoming the norm. And yet we cling to the wreckage. Politicians of every hue continue to be in thrall to the global market. To challenge 'free trade', which is the very essence of globalization, is all but unthinkable. But challenge it we must. And replace it. The future will be local. And the good news is that it is already happening. Under the radar of the mainstream media, a worldwide localization movement is emerging. On every continent, people are coming together to claw back control over their own economies, and in doing so are rebuilding connections to one another, while repairing fractured communities and damaged environments. At the forefront of this inspirational movement is the creation of local food systems. But there are other clear trends in the same direction - in finance, education, renewable energy, governance, and much more. Book jacket.
