Description

In recent years, debates on the economics of happiness have shown that, over the long-term, well-being is influenced more by social and personal relationships than by income.

This evidence challenges the traditional economic policy paradigm that has emphasized income as the primary determinant of well-being.

This volume brings together contributions from leading scholars to ask: What should be done to improve the quality of people's lives?

Can economic and social changes be made which enhance well-being?

What policies are required? How do policies for well-being differ from traditional ones targeted on redistribution, the correction of market inefficiencies, and growth?

Are there dimensions of well-being that have been neglected by traditional policies?

Is happiness a meaningful policy target? The volume presents reflections and proposals which constitute a first step towards answering these questions.
