- "The Politics of Happiness in Bhutan" shows how the Royal Government of Bhutan is tying to curb rural to urban migration.
Many low income countries see their destitute farmers as cheap labour so their industries win the competitive edge in the global economy.
However, Bhutan has reversed their school curriculum's urban bias to produce educated farmers.
To revitalize the local economy they give grants to increase and diversify crop production and boost traditional crafts.
They have devolved power to local councils and are researching Gross National Happiness as a more inclusive measurement of progress than GNP.
However, with many government ministers graduating in economics from American Universities, they are increasingly becoming drawn into the global economy.
Despite cries from farmers to be protected from cheap imported food in their markets, the politicians are considering joining the World Trade Organization (WTO.
Bhutan is at a cross roads.
Either it signs up to the WTO rules that will give foreign Multinationals and investors total rights over their trade, resources and services or it forges a new development pattern that protects small producers and the environment against the vagaries of the global economy.Tracy Worcester's BBC Earth Report from Bhutan
i think its a high time that your organisation make another documentary film on Bhutan about happiness. you will see a drastic change in the degree of happiness of the Bhutanese people. i am a Bhutanese, 19 years old, we are facing a lot of unemployment in the nation and our economy spiraling down.
this documentary is very good and i like it a lot. but to make sure that the Bhutanese government does more for GNH, media should also be portraying the country's struggle especially in these periods. hope to see a new documentary soon.
Heya. Unemployment, etc, is a consequence of usury currency. If Bhutan used a non-commodity, neutral, currency, there would be no issues you speak of. I know that's a big shift, but it's worth it. B. U. X. B. E.
Bhutan is not isolated it has warm relations with hugging countries of India and also Bangladesh which is enough for a smmmaalll country like Bhutan 😍
Love Bhutan from India
10 years and only 43 likes. What a shame.
The framework is very, very, good. Rich may me quantitative, but wealth is really qualitative. A xonenxtion to land is crucial, something usury economics wants people to forget. Office jobs are death living. City life can be different only with a non-commodity currency.
I support sonam...
Good speeches and public appearances are not enough...these kind of act is just fooling poor people...water bubbles does not stay longer. Where the money is going...in the hands of handful of elite Bhutanese ?
