全世界多个国家联合摄制纪录片佳作,解答“你幸福吗”热门问题,经济全球化给人们生活带来诸多便利,然而也带来了许多问题,由此有专家提出了这样的疑问:经济发展是否意味着牺牲人类的幸福感?亦或是有另外的经济形式,既可发展经济又不丧失幸福?'The Economics of Happiness' features a chorus of voices from six continents calling for systemic economic change. The documentary 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.
