Critique of happiness economics

I have just discovered that the monograph by Helen Johns and Paul Ormerod on Happiness, Economics and Public Policy (Published by the Institute of Economic Affairs) is available to download from the internet. The report is a useful critique of the mainstream happiness discussion from a technical economic perspective. It is also a good source on the key references on the subject. I am sharing a panel with Ormerod at the Royal Society of Arts on Thursday (see 30 November post).
