Happiness for All? by Carol Graham
How the optimism gap between rich and poor is creating an increasingly divided society The Declaration of Independence states that all people are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that among these is the pursuit of happiness. But is happiness available equally to everyone in America today? How about elsewhere in the world? Carol Graham
"A persuasive and well-supported studyHighly recommended."--Karen Shook, Times Higher Education "Graham is one of the few scholars who have traced the effects of a dramatic increase in inequality between the rich and poor in America."--Ana Swanson, WashingtonPost.com's Wonkblog "Graham pushes the wellbeing date into a more fruitful area, to assess how the experience of inequality shapes the views Americans hold about the future and the value of hard work... She pierces the myth that inequality is accepted in the US because it is accompanied by so many success stories."--Geoff Dyer, Financial Times
