This timely and important book presents a unique study of happiness
from both economic and political perspectives. It offers an
overview of contemporary research on the emergent field of
happiness studies and contains contributions by some of the leading
figures in the field. General issues such as the history and
conceptualization of happiness are explored, and the underpinning
theories and empirics analyzed. The ways in which economic and
political factors - both separately and interactively - affect the
quality of human life are examined, illustrating the importance of
a self-consciously multi-disciplinary approach to the field. In
particular, the effects of consumption, income growth, inequality,
discrimination, democracy, the nature of government policies, and
labor organization on happiness are scrutinized. In conclusion, the
contributors prescribe what can and should be done at individual
and societal levels to improve human well-being and happiness. This
wide-ranging and interdisciplinary book makes a unique contribution
to the literature. As such, it will prove a fascinating read for
students and scholars of economics, political science, psychology,
sociology, and of course, to those with a special interest in the
analysis of happiness and human well-being.
