Cr�ticas

The thing that is lacking in the often machine-like short-term tactics of British politics is any vision of what we could be as individuals and as a nation. Danny Dorling makes simple arguments for a better society ideas that are grounded in practical idealism and backed up with intelligent interpretation of evidence and data. --From the foreword by Lord Victor O. Adebowale, Crossbench Peer

Starting from the very reasonable view that public policy should concentrate on what would further our well-being, Dorling argues for a provocative range of policies. This is a useful corrective to the focus on measured economic growth, which can all too readily dominate our thinking; these ideas deserve further debate. --Dame Kate Barker, Former member of the Bank of England s Monetary Policy Committee

In The Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen encourages us to consider the traditions, contributions and shared humanity of people like us who are different Danny Dorling has done that for me. --Sir Peter Bottomley, Conservative MP and former minister

Rese�a del editor

The aim of this book is to inspire a better politics: one that will enable future generations to be happier. Greater well-being and better health should be the goals, rather than wealth maximization. We need to value healthcare more than hedge funds, caring above careers, relationships more than real estate. The book is about what makes most of us happier, but it is also about the collective good. We cannot truly be happy if those around us are not happy. The evidence for a successful politics that would promote happiness and health is examined, and policies that take account of this evidence are suggested. Government can and should work to make us happier. "The thing that is lacking in the often machine-like short-term tactics of British politics is any vision of what we could be as individuals and as a nation. Danny Dorling makes simple arguments for a better society - ideas that are grounded in practical idealism and backed up with intelligent interpretation of evidence and data." From the foreword by Lord Victor O. Adebowale, Crossbench Peer "Starting from the very reasonable view that public policy should concentrate on what would further our well-being, Dorling argues for a provocative range of policies. This is a useful corrective to the focus on measured economic growth, which can all too readily dominate our thinking; these ideas deserve further debate." Dame Kate Barker, Former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee "In The Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen encourages us to consider the traditions, contributions and shared humanity of people like us who are different - Danny Dorling has done that for me." Sir Peter Bottomley, Conservative MP and former minister "A formidable intervention into current political debate." Anthony Giddens, Former Director of the LSE "What matters most, what makes us happy, and what, if anything, governments can do to help us thrive are vital questions. Some of the answers around money and housing are admirably clear. Others are unavoidably complex - governments will always struggle to influence our relationships. But no one will read this book without finding new insights and inspiration." Geoff Mulgan, Chief Executive of Nesta "Whether one leans left or right, this is a remarkably engaging book. Dorling is ahead of his time in blending common sense with an emphasis on the use of objective evidence about societal happiness." Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics, University of Warwick ************ Danny Dorling is the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford.
