DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two 
 opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue 
 to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the 
 same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, 
 demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old 
 institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. 
 Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological 
 economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.\n\nWe 
 hear from a chorus of voices from six continents including Samdhong 
 Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet's government in exile, Vandana Shiva, 
 Bill McKibben, David Korten and Zac Goldsmith. They tell us that climate 
 change and peak oil give us little choice: we need to localize, to bring 
 the economy home. The good news is that as we move in this direction we 
 will begin not only to heal the earth but also to restore our own sense of 
 well-being. The Economics of Happiness restores our faith in humanity and 
 challenges us to believe that it is possible to build a better world.
