Happiness And Socio-Economic Conditions
- The evidence for how social forces can undermine or enhance happiness goes well beyond America's determination to marginalize and oppress racial minorities, revealing that any inequality hurts well-being.
- Groups (and often countries) with less power, income, or wealth just aren't as happy as those who have more.
- Only people in the lower half of the income range felt less happy; people who made more money seemed fine as inequality rose.
- A 2011 study found that Americans became less happy as income inequality grew-but not all Americans.
