As an antidote to ‘rich lists’, the Independent on Sunday has produced a ‘Happy List’:
“The Wealth List, Power List, Influence List, Celebrity List… almost every week some publication or other is worshipping at the shrine of the wealthy and famous. Today, ‘The Sunday Times’ produces its famous Rich List, an entire magazine devoted to the moneyed. About time, then, we thought, that someone produced an antidote. So here it is: the Happy List, celebrating those Britons who have given back, enhanced the lives of others and realised that in an acquisitive society there’s a crying need for values other than mere materialism.”
The full ‘happy list’, including, “profiles of 100 people who make Britain a better and a happier place to live” is here.
