Abstract

In the first section the author argues that the concept of Gross National Happiness seemed superficial - as long as it was based in the plainly Christian (biblical?) economic set of western values of private ownership of means of production and market competition. In the second part he deals with the questition, what is necessary for a society and its subjects to be happy, and what may hamper their happiness.
