The correlation between economics and happiness is a phenomenon that fairly recently caught the attention and interest of economists and regular people alike, but happiness was discussed as crucial by Aristotle, Thomas Jefferson, all the way to Richard Easterlin. We try to measure happiness, and we even created an index for it, but the truth is we still do not know what makes a truly happy society or individual. We try to answer what part of happiness coexists with money, can global happiness even be achieved, and whether are economists actually scientists who should define this phenomenon.
