“Economic growth, for so long the great engine of progress, has, in the rich countries, largely finished its work. Not only have measures of well-being and happiness ceased to rise with economic growth but, as affluent societies have grown richer, there have been long-term rises in rates of anxiety, depression, and numerous other social problems. The populations of rich countries have got to the end of a long historical journey”. Wilkinson, R and Pickett, K. (2009), The Spirit Level: why more equal societies almost always do better , pp.5 – 6.
