A moving portrait of tradition and change in
Ladakh, or 8220Litle Tibet,8221Ancient Futures
is also a scathing critique of the global
economy and a rallying call for economic
localization.When Helena Norberg-Hodge first
visited Ladakh in 1975, she found a pristine
environment, a self-reliant economy and a people
who exhibited a remarkable joie de vivre. But
then came a tidal wave of economic growth and
development. Over the last four decades, this
remote Himalayan land has been transformed by
outside markets and Western notions of
8220prgress.8221As a direct result, a whole
range of problems8213frm polluted air and
water to unemployment, religious conflict, eating
disorders and youth suicide8213hae appeared
for the first time.Yet this is far from a story
of despair. Social and environmental breakdown,
Norberg-Hodge argues, are neither inevitable nor
evolutionary, but the products of political and
economic decisions8213an those decisions can
be changed. In a new Preface, she presents a
kaleidoscope of projects around the world that
are pointing the way for both human and
ecological well-being. These initiatives are the
manifestation of a rapidly growing localization
movement, which works to rebuild place-based
cultures8213stengthening community and our
connection with nature.Ancient Futures
challenges us to redefine what a healthy economy
means, and to find ways to carry centuries-old
wisdom into our future. The book and a related
film by the same title have, between them, been
translated into more than 40 languages.
