Description

Explore the paradox of modern prosperity in this essential Routledge examination of why rising material wealth in Western economies since 1945 has failed to increase reported happiness and wellbeing. This Frontiers of Political Economy volume investigates the growing disconnect between economic growth and individual satisfaction, revealing how material affluence often accompanies social and personal distress rather than contentment. Drawing on contemporary research, the book challenges conventional assumptions about the relationship between prosperity and happiness, offering critical insights into political economy, religious perspectives, and the true sources of human wellbeing in affluent societies.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy series, providing rigorous academic analysis of happiness economics and social welfare.

Examines the fundamental paradox between rising prosperity and declining reported wellbeing in Western economies since 1945.

Integrates political economy, religion, and wellbeing studies to offer a multidisciplinary approach to understanding human satisfaction.
