We need to change from being econotarians to being humanitarians, from measuring humanity’s progress in economic terms to measuring humanity’s progress in terms of happiness. When we do, we will automatically make public policy decisions based on what most helps people thrive.

They are not mutually exclusive. Income and happiness are correlated.

When we put our humanity first, we naturally become more creative and productive people. That is what creates money and makes the economy more abundant. The difference is in which comes first: a thriving economy or a thriving human being.

How do you suppose that happiness can be measured at scale, and across cultures (who each have different conceptions of what it means to be happy)? Isn’t money the closest thing we have to a unified idea of happiness?

You’ve just made the most compelling argument why liberals and Democrats should reform and become conservatives and Republicans.
