The half-century decline of well-being (both subjective and objective) in the United States suggests a pessimistic stance, aggravated by the recent pandemic and war.<\/p>\n
Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies<\/em><\/strong> argues with theory and facts that economic growth can surprisingly bring ill-being to people because it erodes their Fundamental Human Development<\/em> (FHD) when market forces are prioritised, with consequent self-defeating race to consumption, including some addiction to digital devices.<\/p>\n ‘Human development’ is here formulated as ‘fundamental’ when it expands those capabilities, such as creativity and sociality, which have determined the evolutionary success of the human species.<\/p>\n The book concludes that prioritising FHD in individual and collective choices would guarantee improvements of well-being, and could shape economic growth as more socially and environmentally sustainable.<\/p>\n Table of Contents Introduction and Summary<\/p>\n Prologue<\/em><\/p>\n Chapter 1.
