Carol Graham Biography

Carol Graham is one of the most popular and richest Political Scientist who was born on January 29, 1962 in Lima, United States. “Since 1776, The Pursuit of Happiness is the great world question. Carol Graham digs deeper by reflecting on modern survey techniques, and the results. What is happiness? Is it the opportunity to live a meaningful and fulfilling life? Is it contentment and happiness? Why does it differ so much between people and across the globe? How is happiness perceived in different countries such as Russia, Afghanistan, Japan, Cuba and Afghanistan? Carol Graham is opening up a new frontier in economics and social policy.” –George Akerlof Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley, 2001 Nobel Laureate for Economics

She earned her A.B. Her A.B. was from Princeton University. She also received her M.A. From Princeton University, where she received her M.A. Graham was awarded the Gale F. Johnston Prize for Public Affairs and the Latin American Studies Thesis Prize at Princeton University. She was awarded the Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellowship in 1998.

This book is about the unequally shared American dream. It is distinct from other work on inequality because of the metrics that are used. Graham uses traditional measures of income inequality as a point of departure and then use well-being data to highlight inequality in beliefs, hope, and aspirations. The high costs of being poor in the U.S., for example, are more evident in stress, insecurity, and hopelessness than in material deprivation. Inadequate access to health insurance and stable employment play a role, but so do the increasing gaps between the lives of the rich and the poor. These inequities may lead to more unequal future outcomes, as individuals who do not believe in their futures are unlikely to invest in them. The markers are evident in income, education, and employment data; in differences in mortality, marriage, and incarceration rates; and in other signs of societal fragmentation. They are even reflected in the words that different cohorts use. Those of the wealthy reflect knowledge acquisition and healthy behaviors; those of the poor reflect desperation, short-term outlooks, and patchwork solutions. This is a complex problem, and there are no magic bullets. Her conclusions highlight the important role of well-being metrics in identifying and monitoring trends in life satisfaction and hope, and in desperation and misery. She finds, for example, remarkable levels of optimism among poor blacks but deep desperation among poor whites. She highlights policies – including experimental ones – in which hope is an important channel in improving economic outcomes.

“With Happiness for All?, Carol Graham takes the study of the new inequality one step deeper. She tells what it means from the perspective of those who suffer from it, as she explores, from many different angles, how it affects Americans’ sense of well-being, and their place within the American dream. This is a very important book, on the deepest social problem facing the United States today.” —George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics

From 1998 to 2006, Graham was the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics’ co- director and senior fellow in Economic Studies at Brookings Institution. From 2002 to 2004, she was also vice president and director at Brookings Governance Studies.
