Unit 7 Family Following is the script of the lecture: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. The title of this little talk is taxes. That’s taxes not taxis, quality of life and happiness. Now, that’s a rather odd bunch of things but I think you’ll see the connections as we go. So by way of introduction, let me just indicate the structure of the talk. It’s in five parts, roughly. First, I’ll talk about politics and the so-called quality of life. Secondly, I’ll contrast this new language with traditional economic views of so-called rational economic man. Thirdly, we’ll have a discussion about the connection between money and happiness. Then, I’ll make some remarks about human welfare and what it is. So, you see, the topics are not too narrow or too small. At the risk of silliness, we’ll press on, though, with a summary of some of these things and a discussion. And finally, I’ll suggest something by way of conclusion and a concluding question. (154 words) Listening Strategy
