I see what they are saying but I don't understand their conclusion that we should focus our effort on increasing wealth.<p>So as a result of these findings we see that as wealth rises so does happiness... but the thing is the graph becomes logarithmic. Germans are only marginally more satisfied than Brazilians. To increase their satisfaction all they need to earn a <i>whole</i> lot more than they do already.<p>Doesn't this just prove or enhance the point that we should look beyond economic growth to drive our prosperity?
