Helena Norberg-Hodge, a prominent figure in the new economy movement, joins SystemShift Season 2 for its final episode. Helena witnessed the devastating effects of modern economic systems and consumer culture, including unemployment, poverty, environmental degradation, and social issues such as depression and division.
Through her experiences in Ladakh, India, Helena discusses how traditional values and community bonds were eroded by modernization and consumerism. She advocates for localization as a means to promote environmental sustainability and community well-being through decentralized, community-driven efforts.
Helena also critiques colonial economic theories and proposes practical solutions for a more interconnected and relationship-based economy. She emphasizes the necessity of systemic transformation to address the shortcomings of the current economic model.
