But check out the fast fasts under "Did You Know?," and if you're interested, there are more resources here about McKibben's Deep Economy, films and books related to the Common Theme, teaching tools and more.

Pp. 162 - 172: "Direct Democracy"

Since happiness has increased with income in the past, we assumed it would do so in the future. However, it is a fallacy. McKibben’s aim in Deep Economy is relatively modest. It is to change minds, to present a new mental model of the possible. He suggests more progress toward local economies. His analysis of localization for food, radio, and energy, can be applied to almost any commodity. If we start thinking a little differently we can do the same for our democracy.
