In this video, Thomas DiLorenzo criticizes “happiness research” as a misleading attempt to turn subjective survey answers into economic science. He argues that it rests on dubious assumptions about measuring and comparing happiness, and that politicians use it to justify more state intervention, redistribution, and attacks on prosperity in the name of “well-being.”
