Notes
As the bill for mental health problems - iconically, depression - climbs, economists seek to quantify the efficiency costs of unhappyness. In such quests, capitalism is reverting to classical psychologies of well-being, the better to neutralize the meaning of the new forms of illness - and its authorship of them.
