Synopsis

'The Economics of Happiness' features a chorus of voices from six continents calling for systemic economic change. The documentary 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, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance - 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.

The songs chosen for the soundtrack do not effectively convey the sense of urgency and hope for a more sustainable economic future. Instead of enhancing the storytelling, the music distracts and feels out of place, diminishing the impact of the documentary's important message.

The overall composition and production of the soundtrack fall short of creating a cohesive and engaging listening experience. The music does not effectively support the themes of resistance, community building, and the shift towards localization portrayed in the film.

Each track in the soundtrack reflects the dual direction in which the world is moving, with a perfect balance between hope and resilience. The melodies and rhythms mirror the spirit of communities striving to build more human scale, ecological economies based on localization. Listening to this soundtrack, one can feel the power of collective action and the possibility of a brighter future for all.
