We assess four explanations of these divergent trends: (1) We have measured well-being incorrectly; (2) we...

However, many people believe that nature provides these services for free and therefore, they are of little or no value. While we do not pay for them, we pay significantly for their loss in terms of wastewater treatment facilities, moratoriums on greenhouse gases, increased illnesses, reduced soi...
