The new film The Economics of Happiness will premiere in Vermont at the Green Mountain Film Festival on Wednesday, March 23rd at 6:15 pm in the Pavilion Auditorium in Montpelier.  Created by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick and John Page, the film describes

... a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.
