Happiness: Between What We Want and What We Need

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The paper presents a very simple toy model that is simulated to experience some aspects related to what is it people want and need when related to the social happiness. By outlining some short discussions related to the distinguishing of what we call “want” and “need”, we see how both micro-social aspects may emerge the happiness as well as the urge to innovate and affinity to the collective creativity and social progress.

Keywords: happiness; want; need; social simulation. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
