Economy of Happiness.m4v

Economic globalization has led to a massive expansion in the scale and power of big business and banking. It has also worsened nearly every problem we face: fundamentalism and ethnic conflict; climate chaos and species extinction; financial instability and unemployment. There are personal costs too. For the majority of people on the planet life is becoming increasingly stressful. We have less time for friends and family and we face mounting pressures at work. The Economics of Happiness 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. We hear from a chorus of voices from six continents including Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet\\\'s government in exile, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten and Zac Goldsmith. They tell us that climate change and peak oil give us little choice: we need to localize, to bring the economy home. The good news is that as we move in this direction we will begin not only to heal the earth but also to restore our own sense of well-being. The Economics of Happiness restores our faith in humanity and challenges us to believe that it is possible to build a better world.

Brilliant perspective.
If you watch this and can comment "Good torrent.
But this is hippie BS", you are neurotic. You lack empathy and objectivity. In this forum, you are ironic.
We need to engage ourselves to shake the contemporary expectations. "We have to do something about the institutions that are at the root of the problem."

H264, but most of source material is composite video and even some interlacing problems.
Message is essentially 'localization' is the solution to everything - with some good arguments for local farming/food/labor, but examples bound only to preindustrialization products, e.g. no useful examples of localizing labor and production of lightbulbs, elevators, SARS vaccines, laptops, mouse, electric vehicles, fiber network routers, wifi/4g deployment, refrigerators and freezers, hifi-speakers, DLP projectors, toothbrushes, toilet papers, pepper spray, and other essential support of happiness for people not interested in farming all day and building their own one-story house using modern design and only locally found materials. :)
