Movie Announcement

The Economics of Happiness will be shown at the Thomaston Public Library on Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 P.M. This film is being sponsored jointly by the Monday Morning Meeting Group and the Friends of the Thomaston Library.

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. 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 community 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
