The Economics of Happiness

The Economics of Happiness offers a big-picture analysis of globalization, and a powerful message of hope for the future. The film connects the dots between climate change, global economic instability and our own personal suffering – stress, loneliness, depression.

The thinkers and activists featured the film come from every continent, and represent the interests of the great majority of people on the planet today. They argue that a systemic shift away from globalizing economic activity and towards the local is a powerful solution multiplier, enabling us to reduce our ecological footprint while increasing our well-being.

Bringing the economy closer to home can not only save us from environmental and economic catastrophe, it can help us re-discover those essential relationships – both with the living world and with one another– that ultimately give our lives meaning and joy. The Economics of Happiness provides critical insight, hope, and above all, inspiration to join the growing movement for localization.
