The Economy of Happiness is a book written by James MacKaye that explores the concept of happiness and how it relates to the economy. MacKaye argues that the current economic system is flawed because it is based on the pursuit of material wealth, which does not necessarily lead to happiness. He suggests that a new economic system should be created that prioritizes the well-being of individuals and communities, rather than the accumulation of wealth.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the history of economic thought and how it has influenced the current economic system. MacKaye argues that the focus on material wealth has led to environmental destruction, social inequality, and a lack of fulfillment for many people.The second part of the book explores alternative economic models that prioritize happiness and well-being. MacKaye discusses concepts such as the sharing economy, localism, and the importance of community.The final part of the book offers practical solutions for creating a happier economy. MacKaye suggests that individuals can make changes in their own lives, such as reducing consumption and building stronger communities. He also proposes policy changes, such as a basic income guarantee and a focus on environmental sustainability.Overall, The Economy of Happiness is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the economy and the pursuit of happiness. It offers a hopeful vision for a future where economic systems prioritize the well-being of individuals and communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
