Both groups use the market in pursuit of the \"good life.\" But what exactly is the good life? How do we define wellbeing beyond material standards of living? While we all may want to live the good life, we differ widely on just what that entails.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Good Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Edward Fischer examines wellbeing in very different cultural contexts to uncover shared notions of the good life and how best to achieve it. With fascinating on-the-ground narratives of Germans' choices regarding the purchase of eggs and cars, and Guatemalans' trade in coffee and cocaine, Fischer presents a richly layered understanding of how aspiration, opportunity, dignity, and purpose comprise the good life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward F.
