About the Book

Overview

Localization: Essential Steps to an Economics of Happiness

By Helena Norberg-Hodge. Edited by Steven Gorelick and Kristen Steele.

Thanks to our friends at Local Futures, we are offering a free booklet on the subject they know best: Economics of Happiness.

From jobs to finance, from food to climate, from education to energy, the negative impacts of globalization are wide-ranging and deeply felt. This detailed report not only summarizes those impacts, it describes the policy shifts and grassroots initiatives that can move us towards the local and, thereby, towards a better world.

Throughout nearly 60 pages, this report looks at the current state of our economy, discusses what localization looks like, and offers ideas for how to get there.
