Description
Helena Norberg-Hodge challenges the conventional narrative that technological progress and a globalized economy will lead to a better world. This collection of essays, compiled from 30 years of published articles, book chapters, and blog posts, offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between technology, community, and the economy.
Written by the staff of Local Futures, a leading organization in the localization movement, these essays explore the root causes of our multiple crises, including climate change, income inequality, and the erosion of democracy. They also examine the need for systemic change and propose strategic steps towards creating a healthier and happier world.
Some of these essays were written decades ago, but their insights remain remarkably relevant today. This anthology is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of our current economic system and to imagine a more sustainable future.
