rench president wants happiness included in measures of economic growthBy Emma Vandore, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS - What price happiness?French President Nicolas Sarkozy is seeking an answer to the eternal question - so happiness can be included in measurements of French economic growth. He's turned to two Nobel economists to help him, hoping if happiness is added to the count, the French economy may seem more rosy."It reflects a general feeling in Europe that says: 'OK, the U.S. has been more successful in the last 20, 25 years in raising material welfare but does this mean they are happier?"' said Paul de Grauwe, economics professor at Leuven University in Belgium.
This will backfire anyway.They're FRENCH for God's sake. They are only happy when they are miserable.
