Beyond the South End

Thomaston Public Library Movie for May 16

THE ECONOMICS OF HAPPINESS will be shown at the Thomaston Library on Wednesday, May 16, at 6:30 pm.

This film shows the disruption to communities around the world by "globalization," covering problems such as financial instability and unemployment, ethnic conflict, and climate change. And it also shows that there are communities that are resisting big money and power. Commentators, including Bill McKibbon and David Korten, as well as spiritual and communty leaders from many countries provide inspiration and ideas for moving to local sustainable communities. The film is a little over one hour long, allowing time for discussion.

You can read about it at this website http://www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org

This event is free and open to the public.
