As the final episode of SystemShift Season 2 comes to a close, we are joined by Helena Norberg-Hodge, a leading figure in the new economy movement. Helena shares her experiences in Ladakh, India where she witnessed the negative effects of modern economic systems and consumer culture on traditional values and community bonds.
Drawing from her observations, Helena advocates for localisation as a way to promote environmental sustainability and community well-being through decentralised, community-driven efforts. She critiques colonial economic theories and proposes actionable solutions for a more interconnected and relationship-based economy.
Helena emphasizes the need for systemic transformation to address the shortcomings of the current economic model. Her message is clear: transitioning to a sustainable and fair economic system requires a shift in mindset and values.
