Abstract

Flourishing is a version of the good life. It is not simply a matter of happiness, but of having a good and satisfying relationship with the world around you. It should be an explicit objective of policy in times of change, when traditional objectives are being called into question. Should growth, for example, really be as central to policy as it is now? The chapter then contrasts the ‘flourishing’ approach to the big five problems with those of market liberalism, social democracy and localism. The chapter concludes by summarising some of the evidence relevant for those adopting this approach to the problems.

Fußnoten
1
The theorem holds when there are no market failures and there are no missing markets; that is, there are markets for everything. There is of course no market for many of the most important contributions to flourishing.
 
2
In practice, most studies around the world establish associations between objective conditions and reported life satisfaction, or in some cases feelings of happiness, rather than flourishing; these may be adequate pro-tem proxies at aggregate level, for even if the psychological states referred to are quite different, there are associations between the states.

For a set of feasible, inexpensive policies based on this principle, see Stefano Bartolini, Manifesto for Happiness: Shifting Society from Money to Well-being (2011).
