sdogood reviewed The joyless economy by Tibor Scitovsky
Review of 'The joyless economy' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a remarkable book in which Scitovsky draws on his knowledge of economics, the arts, and psychology in the form of Berlyne's experimental aesthetics. He has many provocative and original insights. His perspective remains current, especially insofar as they apply to achieving satisfaction through the arts, enjoying novelty, consumerism, resource depletion and the imperative to discover a sustainable way of life.
