Social Value in Public Policy

More about the book

Focusing on the integration of social value into public policy, the book examines how subjective well-being (SWB) can effectively measure the impacts of policies. It challenges the notion that markets enhance well-being, suggesting that crises like the COVID-19 pandemic present a chance to shift policymaking towards prioritizing subjective well-being. The author discusses essential components for a future society that emphasizes social value, advocating for a reorientation away from market-driven approaches.
