This is a regular A4, 8-page, full-colour Aracaria guide about the acclaimed new film, The Economics of Happiness. The film, on a DVD, is packed in a protective pouch and attached inside the guide. Running time: 67 minutes. The Economics of Happiness reveals how globalisation is accelerating climate change, destroying jobs, fraying the fabric of our communities, and adding to the stress of modern life. Most importantly, The Economics of Happiness shows that these trends can be reversed. With stunning footage and thought-provoking commentary from thinkers and activists on every continent, the film demonstrates that a better world is not only possible, it's within our reach. The accompanying guide summarises the documentary's commentary in dialogue format and features stills from the film and biographies of the main participants. Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig supplied the cover illustration. There is a global promotional tour of the film under way at present (February 2011), and there will be substantial publicity in Australia in April / May 2011.
'The Economics of Happiness tells the story of a grassroots movement for localisation that is bubbling up from the cracks of a faltering global economy, in every corner of the world. These are the real 'green shoots' to be hopeful about.' - Anuradha Mittal, Executive Director, The Oakland Institute 'This film connects the dots between climate chaos, economic meltdown, and our own personal suffering. It presents the localisation movement as a systemic alternative to corporate globalisation, as well as a strategy that brings community and meaning to our lives.' - Joanna Macy, author of World as Lover, World as Self 'The Economics of Happiness delivers a powerful message about globalisation: it is the small, local economies around the world that are preserving traditions, cultures, and communities, and ultimately safeguarding our happiness.' - Alice Waters, chef, author, and the proprietor of Chez Panisse
