This documentary critiques globalization and argues that the global consumer-driven economy comes at great societal cost. The film features a case study in the Ladakhi people, who live in a small region of the western Himalayas, to illustrate the impact of western-style economic development on human behavior. The Economics of Happiness presents examples of how the economics of the local can counter some of the world’s problems and promote well-being. (Digital presentation)
