The article explores happiness from economic and political angles, discussing how factors like income, inequality, and government policies impact human well-being. It emphasizes the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to understand happiness fully. The authors show how the concept of happiness has evolved over time, from being seen as a future reward to a present goal. They argue that happiness cannot be measured from one perspective alone and suggest considering both eudaimonic and hedonic indicators for a comprehensive view of human happiness.
