The Economics of Happiness – is Globalization Retreating?
Posted on April 17, 2011 by Jeffrey Tobias in Globalization, InnovationI cannot wait to see the movie The Economics of Happiness. For a long time I have been a real fan of globalization – and the underlying technology that makes it possible.
However the trailer (see below) of The Economics of Happiness tells a different story – the real desire of the community to go back to the “village atmosphere”, where once again manufacturing was local. And indeed, the economics of this seem to back up this move.

Unfortunately we may require a famine in the “West” before we change our (corporate) ways.
