Reviews
‘This is a most welcome contribution. Maurizio Pugno makes a valuable effort to introduce and reinterpret the insight by Tibor Scitovsky into Modern Happiness Economics. These insights have wrongly, and to a large extent, been disregarded in the literature. Pugno discusses e.g. the importance of intrinsic motivation and creativity for happiness, opening up a challenging and fruitful direction of research.’ — Bruno S. Frey Permanent Visiting Professor, University of Base, Switzerland. 'Scitovsky's pioneering contributions on the relationship between economic growth and human wellbeing have so far not received from modern behavioural and happiness economists the attention they deserve. This should change as a result of Maurizio Pugno's labour of love that has resulted in this most useful volume that sets Scitosvky's work in context and presents it in today's more technical style' — Peter Earl, University of Queensland, Australia and co-editor of the Journal of Economic Psychology 2000-2003.
