ABSTRACT
It has been said that the happiest people in the world live in countries where they can make choices, where there is a high degree of tolerance of the choices that they make, and where the political system is one of ‘government of the people, by the people, for the people’ (Abraham Lincoln 1863). Based on these criteria, Denmark would apparently appear to be a very happy place to live, and the United Kingdom and America less so (www.worldvaluessurvey.com).
