【Course Objectives】

The course aims to provide students with the conceptual tools to design the reforms necessary to make the current economic and social system sustainable from the point of view of the environment, human relations, time use and happiness. The ultimate aim of the course is to provide students with tools to design and implement changes aimed at increasing happiness, and sustainability in both in social macro-contexts and in smaller contexts relating to organizations such as schools or businesses.

【Course Contents】

Economic growth has been accompanied by increasingly serious ecological crises and an impoverishment of social and interpersonal relationships, which in recent decades have resulted in mass solitude. Moreover, the impact of growth on people's happiness has been disappointing. Distress, malaise, unhappiness, mental illnesses, suicides, addictions have grown in many industrial societies. Why? To become economically richer, do we necessarily have to become poorer in relationships, well-being, time, and the natural environment? And above all: is there another way? And if so, which one? These are the questions at the core of the course, which examines the reasons for the negative effects of economic growth and the viable alternatives to build an economy that is both sustainable and capable of generating well-being, sociability and leisure.
