As an antidote to the politics of the election, with its assumption that everything can be measured in monetary terms, Transition Town Bridport will be showing the recently released film “The Economics of Happiness.”

Thursday 14 May at 7.00: St John’s Ambulance Brigade Hall, Rax Lane, DT6 3JJ.

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, people around the world are resisting those policies – 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.

Entry £4, or £2 + 2 NETs (less if you can’t afford it). Tea and coffee, or a glass of wine, contributions welcome

Thanks for publicizing this film showing and discussion
