It has been scientifically proven in studies that wealth actually does make us happier, but only up to a certain point! At about 70 000 $ pr year we feel safe, and financially stable - this makes us happier and calmer. But after this stage, the effects of more wealth wears off! More wealth does not equal more happiness.
Now, think about the people hoarding almost inconceivable amounts of wealth and resources, way above the 70k yearly salary. Some actually earn that amount per day! That is a mindset and attitude that is detrimental to both society and the planet.
We need to move towards a Steady State Economy that puts a roof on maximum income per year, AND minimum income per year. And, not base our world on consumerism.
