The Economics Of Happiness
The full movie is worth the $5 needed for "rent" or the $15 for "buy/download".
---
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.

Almost on board
Striped dolphins bowride and jump around an inflatable in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece.
Little if any enforcement exists in this area to ensure proper behaviour in the proximity of marine mammals. Boat manoeuvering relies on the driver's degree of awareness and respect for the animals.
