Individually, more money does seem to increase happiness, but when everyone gets richer, no one appears to feel better.Įconomists have recently paid more attention to studying happiness, instead of the more traditional GDP per person. Although it would be logical to expect that rising national wealth would lead to greater national happiness, this has not happened. In America, for example, more than a third of the richest group said they were ‘very happy’, while only half this number of the poorest made the same claim.
