Economic growth no longer serves as an accurate measurement of happiness. In order for the happiness movement to scale and succeed, it has to be seen as better than the growth mindset and the narrative of our current economic policies. We should be proposing and advocating for a new economy, with policies that help individuals meet their basic needs.
