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.

It doesn’t work like that. To make a poor person “happy” they need to escape poverty. That means money. To make a rich person “happy” they want to keep their wealth. That means money. Neither can be happy without making the other unhappy.

How do you objectively measure happiness?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Trouble is some people are happy controlling others lives and they are the one measuring “happiness”
