I wonder if there is causality between "over"-regulation and life expectancy and quality of life too.
What good is a growing economy when your country's people are living shorter, unhappier lives?
- School-Cotton 2y agoThe size of the economy very directly impacts people's quality of life.
- drawkward 2y agoI agree, but not necessarily at fostering happiness! Look at the countries that are generally regarded as happiest: are their economies the biggest?
- School-Cotton 2y ago> Look at the countries that are generally regarded as happiest: are their economies the biggest? Assuming when you say "biggest" you mean per capita... yes. Obviously it's not the only factor, but generally I think it's generally accepted that people in rich countries are better off than people in poor countries.
- throwaway2037 2y ago"size of the economy": Do you mean total GDP, or GDP per capita?
- School-Cotton 2y agoPer capita
- throwaway2037 2y agoWhy is your original comment downvoted? It makes no sense to me. This is simply common sense. Most of the very high quality places to live are also wealthy, highly developed countries.
- School-Cotton 2y agoNo idea. I try not to worry about downvotes on this site.
