Description

Distilling the wisdom gleaned from four decades of activism and direct experience internationally , Helena deconstructs the old narrative of ‘progress’ through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localisation.

Her arguments are supported by real-world examples which prove that beneath the radar of the mainstream media, healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.
