The missing dimension of happiness. Diminishin returns on income mean that America needs to close it's metal deficit if it wants to achieve Finnish happiness levels
Americans often don't realize how relatively happy and rich the country is, despite its issues. (Yes, the chart is adjusted for purchasing power differences.)
