El Salto (Spain):
Las paradojas de la felicidad y de la economia global/ The paradoxes of happiness and the global economy
29 December 2017
It is paradoxical that despite being richer every day we can not use that wealth in a way that makes us happier, because working more for less makes us unhappy, and what would make us happier would be to work less. That is what comes to explain the economy of happiness. I will synthesize in a schematic way the evidences that the reader can find, for example, in La felicita: lessons of a new science, by Richard Layard.
