Summary:

"While most definitions of happiness (e.g., Ryan & Deci, 2017; Ryff, 1989), flourishing (Seligman, 2011), and thriving (Brown et al., 2017; Carver, 1998; Kleine et al., 2018; Seppälä et al., 2020) acknowledge the role of interpersonal relations; there is not much discussion of other contextual factors, such as experiences of fairness and equality, let alone the role of power or capitalism. And yet, injustice (Prilleltensky, 2012), inequality (Payne, 2017), power differentials (Ponsford et al., 2021; Prilleltensky, 2008), exclusion (Riva & Eck, 2016), neoliberal ideologies (Adams et al., 2019) and capitalism (Kasser at al., 2007) play a considerable role in our ability to live life to the fullest"-- Provided by publisher
