By Jennifer Wilkins An increasing number of people in the affluent nations are realising that our levels of consumerism reflect learned habits rather than our real needs, that inputs to industrial production are less than 10% recirculated causing over-extraction and pollution, that the fossil fuels that power our lifestyles need to stay in the ground […]

Written by Sandra Ericson The Scandinavians were once very poor, with high rates of child poverty and child labor. Most people lived under a 3-part feudal rule of royalty, merchants, and peasants. The fate of poor peasants was determined at birth and had been so for centuries. Then, in the 13th century, writers and thinkers […]
Editor’s Note: The Wellbeing Economy Movement is dynamic and in constant change and evolution. Therefore, please take into account, while reading, that many findings about the ecosystem back then could render different conclusions today. Since publication, more action has taken place in the policymaking arena, namely: the creation of the WEAll Policy Design Guide in […]

Written by: Abhijit Dabhade ‘Wellbeing’ as a term has been used in common parlance only in the last few years. Before that, it was always the term ‘Quality of Life’ that was used to indicate growth, progress, and even happiness. Humans are thought to be competitive by nature. It’s easy to think that the grass […]
