Summary

Betterness: Economics  for Humans is a powerful call to arms for a  post-capitalist economy. Umair Haque argues that just as positive psychology  revolutionized our understanding of mental health by recasting the field as  more than just treating mental illness, we need to rethink our economic  paradigm. Why? Because business as we know it has reached a state of  diminishing returns-though we work harder and harder, we never seem to get  anywhere. This has led to a diminishing of the common wealth: wage  stagnation, widening economic inequality, the depletion of the natural world,  and more. To get out of this trap, we need to rethink the future of human  exchange. In short, we need to get out of business and into betterness.
