97. The Economics of Happiness

Robert and Steph are joined by Lord Richard Layard, a 90 year old economist who has dedicated his life to researching and encouraging politicians to consider the happiness of their populations when taking decisions. They also discuss whether faster growing economies increase wellbeing and how the presence of women in politics has positive effects on the people who live in those countries (most of the time).
