Economics of Happiness
«“Frey’s book is a good piece of scholarly work and leads readers to think about new developments such as the transition to a digital economy, rarely studied topics such as war (including such sub-topics as combat flow and afterglow post-traumatic stress disorder), prison inmates, the use of happiness pills, and complicated decision-making processes (cognitive biases) and their possible effect on the happiness of individuals.” (Devrim Dumludag, Journal of Economics, Vol. 126, 2019)
“The book is well structured; after having a short introduction about the concept of happiness, we are guided through all the major economic questions, namely how to measure happiness, the possible determinants of happiness, and the relation of happiness to governments, consumption, management, religion, war, television and the digital world in general.” (Adam Tamas Tuboly, Journal of Economic Methodology, Vol. 26 (2), 2019)
