Marks isn’t atone in his beliefs; many social scientists are conducting research to ask be people about what they want. One global 'M' survey, conducted by Ed Diener and Christie Scollon (2003), suggests that people measure their well-being very differently than most economists. Quite unsurprisingly ,people all around the world say that what they want, or value most,is happiness their families, their children, and theircommunities. Money is important, but it’s not nearly as important as happine ss, love,or health.
