Mark Fabian completed undergraduate studies in philosophy and political science and a PhD in economics at the Australian National University. He was then a Fulbright postdoctoral scholar at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC before joining the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on wellbeing from an interdisciplinary point of view, with a particular emphasis on the ethical and epistemological issues involved in applying wellbeing science in public policy.
Fabian (Bennett Institute for Pubic Policy, Univ. of Cambridge)
offers an exquisitely rich text involving novel approaches to the
concept of subjective well-being (SWB)...For students and
researchers in psychology, philosophy, public policy, and
economics, this will be an important read.
*M. Uebel, CHOICE*
It is indeed a worthwhile endeavour, and one that I believe Fabian
is probably one of the few people with a sufficient breadth of
knowledge to embark on.
*Gil Hersch, Economics & Philosophy*
A Theory of Subjective Wellbeing is an excellent step in the right
direction.
*Willem van der Deijl, Eramus Journal for Philosophy and
Economics*
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fabian's book to anyone working
within the subjective well-being space, especially those interested
in pragmatic approaches to subjective wellbeing theory. Fabian
succeeds in his endeavor to create a comprehensive account of
subjective wellbeing, a demonstrates just why government policy
should focus on promoting welfare and therefore improve their
citizens circumstances, not just how they feel about those
circumstances.
