The Formula for Happiness
Norwegian title: Ligningen for lykke
The Figures, Thoughts and Coincidences Behind the Prevailing Economic Sense.
It is difficult to protest when a Prime Minister says that “we can’t do this because of the interest charges”. In this book, the author looks behind the economic contexts normally taken for granted, and indicates how they are a matter of choice, habit and chance.
The book is playful, marvelling and temperamental – a book about economics for non-economists
