Today I’d like to introduce one of the many inroads being made into discussions about economics done differently - specifically, economics which focuses the well-being of human beings, as opposed to the maximization of industrial output. Umair Haque is one of a number of people contributing to a definition of economy which places the promotion of human well-being at its centre; an economics of better, as opposed to an economics of more. That’s what consumer economy means – people buying stuff. The point is the stuff, whether or not it makes your life better or happier; but maybe making lives better and happier should be the point instead.
