Social Progress a New Standard of National Wealth
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is encouraging countries to join in a “great revo-
lution” in the way growth is tracked. Two Nobel economists recently completed a
report recommending a shift from measuring progress solely based on a nation’s
gross domestic product to accounting for the society’s well-being and sustainabil-
ity. In effect, Sarkozy thinks that any government’s primary objective should be the
greatest happiness of its citizens.
According to a World Values Survey by the University of Michigan Institute of
Social Research, between 1981 and 2007, happiness and general life satisfaction
has risen substantially in 40 of 52 countries tracked. Democra-
tization and rising social tolerance are primarily re-
sponsible, followed by economic growth. “The results
��� �
clearly show that the happiest societies are those that
allow people the freedom to choose how to live
their lives,” says survey director Ronald Inglehart.
���
Rising happiness and well-being are most
notable in India, Ireland, Mexico, Puerto Rico and
South Korea, with recent spikes in ex-communist
countries, as well as Nigeria and Turkey. In
���
��
2007, Denmark ranked as the happiest
nation, with the United States 16th.
