I guess Sarkozy got the idea that happiness is more important than money during his overly expensive holidays in America...
> Jean-Philippe Cotis, the former OECD chief economist who took over as > head of France's statistics office Insee two months ago, said Wednesday > that a measure of happiness would complement GDP by taking into account > factors such as leisure time -- something France has a lot of. Pretty ironic idea in a country where workers WANT to work longer because leisure time without having money is useless to them. And the crowds who set fire in the banlieues will also be surprised to learn that they would be happier with less money... Sounds like just another PR stunt by Sarkozy.
