Economia della felicità
Con economia della felicità si intendono tutti quegli studi che tentano di comprendere quali siano le cause economiche del benessere delle persone: lavoro, reddito, modello di consumo. Studi che si stanno rivelando, oltre che originali nelle loro conclusioni, anche potenzialmente utili per la definizione della politica economica delle nazioni. Con politica economica si intendono gli interventi dello Stato volti ad indirizzare l’economia di un paese verso obbiettivi prefissati. In assenza di dati empirici che permettano di definire le preferenze dei cittadini, l’unico modo per definire queste preferenze risiede nella visione antropologica delle forze politiche al potere. Così è stato per moltissimo tempo, ma adesso sono disponibili metodi di rilevazione e dati sulla felicità delle persone e sulle sue cause. E questo ha dato un forte stimolo agli studi sulla felicità, anche in ottica di politica economica. Effetto negativo sulla felicità avrebbero disoccupazione e inflazione.

On technology: Technology is basically neutral. On the whimsy of inquiry: ↬ @openculture
