Veenhoven, Ruut
Abstract
Veenhoven provides an examination of how freedom may influence feelings of well-being. Although Veenhoven finds that the economic freedom of nations is related to the average levels of well-being in them, he finds that broader notions of freedom, including political and person freedoms, are related to higher SWB in wealthier nations but not in poorer ones.
