This volume examines the impact of wealth on quality of life and subjective well-being (SWB).
As wealth is related to economic environmental and social features of societies this volume
serves as an important resource in understanding economic and SWB. It further discusses a
variety of experiences and consequences of inequalities of wealth. Through the availability of
wealth data in recent international surveys this volume explores the multiple relations
between wealth and SWB. Structured around four main pillars the book presents analysis of the
topic at various levels such as theoretical and conceptual methodological and empirically
ending with a section on distribution and policies.
