A new article by Xi Chen discusses the effect of social inequality on general well-being. He compiles evidence to show that people who are relatively less “well-off” than their peers suffer from significantly lower levels of happiness and motivation. In other words, despite sharp rises in income, persistent inequality has prevented average well-being levels from improving.
