The Power of Hope: How the Science of Well-Being Can Save Us from Despair by Carol Graham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: Why hope matters as a metric of economic and social well-being
In a society marked by extreme inequality of income and opportunity, why should economists care about how people feel? The truth is that feelings of well-being are critical metrics that predict future life outcomes. In this timely and innovative account, economist Carol Graham argues for the importance of hope―little studied in economics at present―as an independent dimension of well-being. Given America’s current mental health crisis, thrown into stark relief by COVID, hope may be the most important measure of well-being, and researchers are tracking trends in hope as a key factor in understanding the rising numbers of “deaths of despair” and premature mortality.
