FILMS ABOUT ECONOMY

In many of our films, podcasts and extended interviews, the economy is raised as a critical element in creating individual and collective resilience. What effect is the modern economic system having on society and the capacity for humanity to live in alignment with the planet's needs? What alternative systems exist that could replace how we mange our economy currently?


We've covered degrowth economics, alternative currency systems like Green Dollars and timebanking, and discussions about the flaws of the modern system. While the videos below aren't focused specifically on the subject of economics, each brings an interesting perspective to this very important topic. Enjoy!
