Globalization is as old as capitalism itself, although
the trend has intensified significantly in the last 40 or so years, promoting
what is known as a "monoculture" economy with devastating effects for
the well-being of many communities in the global South and the environment
alike.
Localization, in this regard, is seen by an increasing
number of people as the counterweight to globalization.
A leading voice against "monoculture" and a
passionate advocate of localization in the struggle for a just social and
economic order and a sustainable ecology is the activist, author, and producer Helena Norberg-Hodge.
In this first installment
of a two-part interview with Truthout, Norberg-Hodge speaks about
globalization, localization, and her work to promote a just and sustainable
future social order.
