The global economy is putting all life on Earth at risk. However, there is a powerful counter-trend. Millions of people are working to bring about a system shift - supporting cultural and biological diversity, social justice, genuine democracy, and our health and happiness.
‘The Power of Local’ brings not only inspiration, but also solutions to counteract the growth of the global economy and carving out a different path going forward. It’s evident that localization is possible and is already happening across the world!
