In Pursuit of Happiness Research

Wilkinson, W. (2007, April 11). In pursuit of happiness research: Is it reliable? What does it imply for policy? In The Cato institute. Retrieved December 6, 2007, from http://www.cato.org

Wilkinson argues that we should tax the rich. There should be a tax that "reduces the benefits of monetary labor" will encourage everyone together to stop working so hard. with all that extra time, we could hang out with friends and family and spend time engaging in hobbies we actually enjoy. (other research has shown that it is not money or material things that make us happiest; instead, it's our relationships we form with other people that boost our happiness)
