Happiness and GDP: Money can't buy happiness - or can it? | The Economist

Happiness and GDP: Money can't buy happiness - or can it? | The Economist: "THE British prime minister, David Cameron, wants to measure his nation’s happiness.

It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP, but on GWB - general well-being. Well-being can't be measured by money or traded in markets. It's about the beauty of our surroundings, the quality of our culture and, above all, the strength of our relationships. Improving our society's sense of well-being is, I believe, the central political challenge of our times."
