Really neat graphic. But a challenge is: are people actually happier? Would like to see the same plot graphed for happiness/fulfillment/contentment. I am a capitalist but I do wonder if the endless encouragement of growth directly causes discontent.

big believer in that notion. marketers say “people don’t buy products, they buy better versions of themselves”. is the corollary that we are kept in a manufactured state of discontent to encourage patterns of consumption?
