TRAILER- THE ECONOMICS OF HAPPINESS

www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org
'Going local' is a powerful strategy to help repair our fractured world -- our ecosystems, our societies and our selves. Far from the old institutions of power, people are starting to forge a very different future.
A film by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick & John Page at ISEC.

I wish our economists and policy leaders would watch films like this. We do not have the resources to continue business as usual much longer environmentally and we soon are going to have to make tough decisions about how to preserve a quality of life without endless growth or corporate profits at all costs.

At least a part of this nice movie seems to have been posted on Southeast Asian channel of cheepajornloke under the title MongraoMonglok - Economics of Happiness 1/3.mp4
The movie starts from around 3:50 minutes in that first clip and goes on through part 2 and 3. Enjoy watching and sharing!
The ideas in this easily understandable movie do remind me of the principles of Samaj and economic democracy, etc. as expounded in PROgressive Utilisation Theory (PROUT) by P.R. Sarkar, indeed...

Why not feed democratic localization to starve corporate globalization. Starve the beast, feed the feast.

That looks really average. Not because I don't like the idea of examining the problems of our current cultural and economic models, but this doesn't seem to provide anything new. It looks like an analysis that I have been seeing constantly, over and over - and gives us the same good but very basic answers again and again. I know of a philosopher who has really incredibly deep and powerful answers. His name is P. R. Sarkar and he gave an amazing economic model called PROUT. Check it out!

I'd say socialism more so than communism.
