Omschrijving

Shows that there is a paradox at the heart of our lives. This title describes that most people want more income and yet as societies become richer, they do not become happier.

Unorthodox, devastatingly straightforward and more provocative of actual thought than 90% of books said to be "thought-provoking". If happiness isn't a political issue, what's the point of politics?

A remarkable book ... which effectively trashes the claim of economics to guide policy for a good society ... read it, and take heart

Fascinating ... argues that we should make happiness, not growth, the object of our economic policies

Richard Layard is a leading economist who believes that the happiness of society does not necessarily equate to its income. He is best known for his work on unemployment and inequality, whihc provided the intellectual basis for Britain's improved unemployment policies. He founded the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, and since 2000 he has been a member of the House of Lords. His research into the subject of happiness brings together findings from such diverse areas as psychology, neuroscience, economics, sociology and philosophy.
