I have seen this for 3 or more times. Every time i can get a new idea for my own live out of it. This video makes it pretty clear what imense problem globalisation of the economy causes & how we can fix it.

Thank you so much for making this available to watch. A brilliant re-education and much needed nudge to take action now.

At 21:03, it is mentioned that butter from here in New Zealand, costs less than butter locally produced there in the UK. In the UK, when you do a currency conversion, they pay less for our butter than we do here in New Zealand. It is the same when it comes to our beef, with many people in New Zealand not being able to afford our locally produced dairy and beef, and end up buying imported products because it's cheaper. This is absolutely twisted and ridiculous, but also intentional.

There is plenty of old footage (ten years plus) in this film, to make it outdated. Today, in July 2022, in my little New England town where we practice more local economy than this film suggest, we STILL have a long way to go, before we can live through a Winter without getting food trucked in, let alone the myriads of other thing one needs, such as basic tools. No matter HOW small one's foot print is, peoples of ALL cultures have traded. Across vast geographic areas. A film like this must go in 2022 beyond putting the former Ladakh on a pedestal. The majority of this film points fingers at the corporations. It should make local residents - and everybody is one - contemplate , which model or course of action (to mobilize each other) - they CAN take. Too many residents have NOT caught on, and are simply too lazy to choose self-reliance. They forgot what Happiness actually IS. The card house of corporations WILL fall, once the People decline to participate in corporate "economies". Please go the next extra mile and create a film wherein more REAL people, not tourist ladies, are shown shopping at Farmers Markets. The motive to create this film was good. It is not enough. I will buy an updated version , or a sequel to this film. Not this one. Please help educate the public less about corporations' misdeeds; they know that and lost trust in the system, but please help the public connect dots with actual links so they can create Local Think and Do Tanks.

So what’s your suggestion to a community that needs to start? Who do we go to? How do we talk to the mayor and politicians in our local area for this change.

[@Kabira747]

You ask "Who do you/we go to?" My reply is: "Go INSIDE. Yourself". Participate in what wants to happen, not what you get handed down or are told to do. ~ Self-organizing "organisms" survive and eventually thrive. That in includes entire societies. My comment contains many suggestions on what the film could have shown. It is not my intention to advise how (specific) cultures ought to "evolve" upon being massively impacted by the paradigms of industrialization, the media and tourism. "The major" is one person, elected and dependent on others in "Town Hall" yes? I say: "just talk to them. The how to or what about to talk to them, must originate from you and cohorts. BE the change... be a politicians, an activist, a change maker on small or large issues. This is sent to you by a ling time activist and communitarian, who has found and finds cohorts and like minded people everywhere. And yes, change is being made, communities emerge virtual and brick and mortar. A very effective tools is the work of Lynne McTaggart : "The Power of Eight" Avail as book and audio. She has created a global (scientific) tool and movement wherein people manifest anything - through group intention. Including decline of crime, and stopping war, purifying water, and much more. @@sexiestargirl​

Jessica from The Veronicas brought me here. This is a brilliant film, something that we all ought to be doing instead of supporting multi-national corporations. Let's start supporting more grass roots business enterprises.

I can really see this take off the day we tap out all of our natural resource.

[@lautarocepeda1889]

So Important!

[@soghrasayyadi7400]

A great film presenting a critical view on globalisation. Useful resource for classroom.

[@Kabira747]

and then what. Will you seek out some do-able alternatives the pupils can follow up with, and measure their follow up?

[@merryfergie]

34:00. Corporations make money by selling products to individual people. Every person makes a choice in consumption. Every person has power. Corporation are business created by people.

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

Peoples happiness grows with economic growth until certain point. After it, it stays the same. Almost half of all people are already having enough by this measure to be that happy. Only the people richer than their neighbours being a little happier than others. Richer people in the neighborhoods where others are even richer than them are not happier. Everybody wants more, even though in reality they don't need it. They make themselves miserable just to have more. They end with the opposite of what they wanted while getting more. Those richer than their neighbours are the ones who don't fell the presure of proving themselves. Also, refusing to be the part of this is how you got rich in the forst place.

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

@juliusnft1747 I will not write an entire essay about how you have just proven my theory. I will just say that in the highly unequal society with a lot of crime and homelessness where the people who have home often had it much larger than they need - people have voted for the candidate who acknowledged some of its problems and promised some quite controversial solutions to them whilst the other candidate just focused on the micro issues instead. One promised change, the other status quo. People wanted change so they voted for him. See, you have proven my point.

[@illusionph7]

thanks, nice collation of a potential solution to the conflicts of current system/progress

COVID-19 taught us something. Most humans still refuse to learn.

[@dr-greata]

I think that most humans are learning - and quickly. But the power to change a system on the large scale is in the hands of very few humans that have no incentive to give away their money and power. But I believe that the one good thing that came with globalization in the end was the spread of communication technology. With this we all learn faster and learn from each other.

[@goldnutter412]

The last couple of years have seen a fairly sudden big change in mindset Yes, we learn together..

[@tanaminogarashi]

Makes me wonder what the point of industrialization was in the grand scheme of things, if we’re just going to go full circle in terms of reestablishing a regenerative relationship with the land again, localizing, and reintegrating Indigenous wisdom, you know? Like, we were once one with the Earth, living off the land, everything from biology, economics, psychology, spirituality, etc was integrated. Then we industrialized and knowledge became fragmented and siloed - we did some damage to the Earth but we birthed the internet, smartphones, computers, all the conveniences of modernity… just to go full circle? To collectively witness the unraveling of the world we’ve built and the emergence of a more resilient one? I mean, there’s probably no cosmically ordained “reason” for industrialization to have happened, it’s just a chapter in the emergent process of life, but I am curious how it and globalization will be remembered. Someone on Twitter proposed that perhaps the comforts and abundance of modernity was to compensate for the past trauma of never having enough, altho tbh the Ladakhs looked pretty happy before the trucks started rolling in

[@sexiestargirl]

⁠@@tanaminogarashiwell said! You wrote this beautifully. I was literally thinking the same thing. In just 20 years we did more damage and that speaks volumes on how damaging industrialization and globalization did us and our planet. I have been saying to the people on Twitter to start focusing on their communities and stop caring about the celebrities and higher ups who do not care about our problems back home.

i observe an interesting contrast between what andrew says here (29:14) and lierre keith says* in the great documentary "bright green lies" (around 1 hr. 4 min.) is noteworthy. they both talk about 2 different ways of giving afterthought priority to "the people" - andrew's is observing of the powerful Business associates with excessive selfishness, and lierre's is about the poor, defenseless environment who is being destroyed by that greed *kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmiUo4ZtZZtql7s

I think the narrator's voice is that of John Pilger (RIP); if it is him please, @LocalFutures, have the respect to acknowledge him adequately, it's not John Page, thanks.

Everything has two sides. Globalization stems from the greedy nature of capital. However, globalization has also speeded up numerous advances in human civilization. If capitalism is inevitable for human, there is no way to stop it.
