The Pursuit of
Happiness?
is comprised of five readings that explore the complex and challenging relationship between money and happiness.
The title refers to
the words written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 in the U.S. Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that
they are endowed by
their Creator certain
unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life,
Liberty, and the pursuit
of Happiness.
