Wealth and Happiness: An Analysis and Some Implications for Education.

Hodgkinson, Christopher

Canadian Journal of Education, v7 n1 p1-14 1982

Wealth consists of internal and external goods which are not free and which endow people with a perceived potential for yielding happiness. Curricula can overstress outer wealth orientation and neglect or disregard inner wealth orientation, causing imbalance between the liberalizing and vocational arts provided by the educational system.
