Summary
Trust, happiness and other forms of human capital constitute the "hidden wealth of nations." This reciprocal, relationship-based "economy of regard" is a reservoir of unseen assets that parallels the transaction-based economy. Insights from behavioral economics and survey-based measurements of citizens' satisfaction can help governments perform more effectively. British psychologist David Halpern's verbose, disjointed writing style may obscure some of his insights on increasing society's well-being, but his comments are fresh and interesting. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends his treatise to those interested in public service and inventive approaches to democratic governance.
