Book Synopsis
Amidst rising global inequality, migration, climate change, health pandemics, and deepening poverty, it is time to redirect our economy towards more sustainable and socially just processes and outcomes.

In 'Wellbeing Economics' Nicky Pouw puts forward a new framework that places human wellbeing at the centre, instead of economic growth. She postulates ten reasons why economics should change to remain a relevant discipline and develops a Wellbeing Economic Matrix (WEM) to implement this approach. In doing so, it is one of the first economics books that 'rethinks the economy' from head to tail.

Trade Review
"a refreshing and insightful read for all those interested in a new form of doing economics, who will certainly find very important elements for such a project in this book"
Nuno Ornelas Martins in The Journal of Development Studies
