Having lived in Latin America and Europe, it seems absurd to think that GDP correlates with happiness. And besides, it's not like the world has become exponentially happier in the past two hundred years. Trying to measure happiness by assuming it's tied to factors like these is ridiculous. After extensive traveling, I can say the best indicator of happiness is the amount of people per area who close their business on Sunday to eat lunch with their family.
