Description

Explore the complex relationship between economic prosperity and human well-being with The Practices of Happiness: Political Economy, Religion and Wellbeing. Part of the Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy series, this academic work addresses a significant modern paradox: why rising prosperity in Western economies since 1945 has not led to higher reported levels of happiness. Instead of increased contentment, material affluence is often linked to rising social and individual distress. This book examines these trends through the lenses of political economy and religion to understand the factors influencing modern well-being. It serves as a necessary resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in how economic structures and social institutions affect the quality of life. Readers can also access a PDF version of this book for free via open access through the OAPEN Library platform or tandfebooks.com, provided under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license as part of the OAPEN-UK research project.
