Great video, Lorne. Inspirational. Ralston Saul in his book on globalism points out that it's only the West that measures growth on GDP. Some, such as the Aga Khan, look to quality of life and as you've shown Bhutan looks to happiness.
ReplyDeleteI regret that our collective western arrogance seems to preclude us from learning crucial lessons from smaller, 'less-developed' nations, Mound.
DeleteKeep in mind Bhutan's size and largely preindustrial economy. Not as impressive a feat as you portray it here.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, Sesel, as a model it can provide some inspiration for the many countries so sorely lacking in that precious quality.
