ISBN-13: 978-0-415-49410-6, ISBN: 0-415-49410-9

However, approaches on how to define, measure, evaluate, and promote well-being differ widely. The conventional economic approach takes income (or the power to acquire market goods) as the most important indicator for well-being, and the utility function as the formal device for positive and normative analysis.
