Political stability is a thing of the past; climate chaos is intensifying; anxiety disorders are of epidemic proportions; extremism and fundamentalism are becoming the norm.

To challenge 'free trade,' which is the very essence of globalization, is all but unthinkable. But challenge it we must. And replace it. The future will be local. And the good news is that it is already happening. Under the radar of the mainstream media, a worldwide localization movement is emerging. On every continent, people are coming together to claw back control over their own economies, and in doing so are rebuilding connections to one another, while repairing fractured communities and damaged environments. 505 0 $a Reclaiming our future -- Globalization : creating a lose-lose world -- Counting the costs -- The rise of extremism -- Localization : getting from here to there -- Grassroots inspiration -- Local food for our future -- Countering the objections -- Globalization revisited -- Rethinking the past -- Big picture activism -- The economics of happiness -- Coda: a conversation with Wendell Berry. 650 0 $a Globalization $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a International economic relations. 650 0 $a Local foods. 650 0 $a Community development. 650 0 $a Quality of life $x Economic aspects. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200208014310.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003012126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C0F93D0E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
