Authors
Richard A. Easterlin
Year
1974
Field
Happiness economics
One big idea
Within a country at a point in time, richer people are happier, but over long stretches, rising average income doesn’t always boost average happiness.
My take
The OG Easterlin paradox. Makes GDP graphs look a lot less like a scoreboard and more like just one stat on the box score.
