Blueprinting Haircuts

fortune seekers in the Bundestag

growth, growth and more growth, which could not yet go on forever, the Club of Rome warned already in 1972, for the earth and its resources are limited. But today is growth, as measured by the increase in gross domestic product, as the main indicator of economic and political success. Automatically feel happier by the fact that people not know. And even the costs of environmental disasters, the gross domestic product, driving up! The small kingdom of Bhutan has declared foresight thirty years ago rather than growth for the happiness of its people directive of the government action. It makes the satisfaction of its citizens by detailed surveys of accurate statistics. A similar plan is now also the governments in France and England. In the German Bundestag last week, the commission of inquiry "economic prosperity, quality of life" begun its work to define a new indicator of progress. Here, according to appointment decision is "subjectively experienced by the human quality of life and satisfaction," not to miss. At least the happiness research in Germany is facing happy days! more columns from the culture, see Republic here (and every Monday in the Stuttgarter Zeitung). The photo shows the futuristic foyer of the Paul-Loebe-Haus, in the the committees meet.
