Key essays by Helena Norberg-Hodge and her colleagues at Local Futures.
Written over the past 25 years, some of these essays ask us to rethink our basic assumptions about human nature, poverty, progress, and happiness, while others point to the root causes of our many crises. Taken together, they outline the steps needed to bring a happier, healthier world into being.
These writings are becoming more relevant every day as our crises deepen, and the need for systemic change becomes more apparent.
