{"product_id":"economics-and-happiness","title":"Economics and Happiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive overview of happiness in Economics.  Although it is comparatively unusual to put happiness and economics together, the association appears increasingly exciting and fruitful. A number of studies have been produced following Richard Easterlins and Tibor Scitovskys pioneering works throughout the 1970s.  The  essays collected in this book provide an authoritative and  comprehensive assessment   both\n\u003cbr\u003etheoretical, applied and partly experimental    of the whole field moving from the so-called paradoxes of happiness in Economics.   The book  breaks new ground, particularly on the more recent directions of\n\u003cbr\u003eresearch  on  happiness, well-being, interpersonal relations and reciprocity.  The meaning of happiness is thoroughly  explored and the tension between a hedonic-subjective idea of happiness and a eudaimonic-objective one is discussed. This volume opens with Richard Easterlins own assessment of the main issues. Other authors include Robert H. Frank, Robert Sugden, Bruno S. Frey, Alois Stutzer, Richard Layard, Martha C. Nussbaum, Matt Matravers, Bernard M.S, van Praag, Oded Stark, You\n\u003cbr\u003eQ.
