You and most people around you are likely to be in the wealthiest 1% who have ever lived. Yet why, for so many people in rich countries, does progress not make us feel better? With the help of a new tool, Comparonomics delves into the factors that make us feel bad and reaches some surprising conclusions. Not only are we much better off than we – or the economists – think we are, but the things we aim for like economic growth, improved social mobility, and equality don’t impact most of the feel-bad factors. In other words, we’re feeling worse than we ought to, and we’re doing too many of the wrong things to feel better. With its surprisingly simple tool, Comparonomics shows just how wrong conventional economics is about progress, what impact this has on our lives and offers readers some strategies for making sense of our modern world. Grant J Ryan is the son of an Invercargill chicken farmer who ended up a hopelessly addicted inventor. He has founded several technology companies, an opensource project to protect native species, and has worked as an advisor to the New Zealand Government. Grant has a degree in mechanical engineering and a PhD in ecological economics.

Perfect size for me!
Color: Black
I've had this bag for several months! It's in GREAT condition for the price that I got it for! I've had one maybe a couple stitches on the handle fray a little bit, but other than that it's holding up amazingly! Surprisingly it holds a lot, wallet, keys, small makeup bag, and a smaller bag for hair ties, pins, tampons and whatnot. It's very soft, the color doesn't fade! The material isn't hard leather, it's very maluable, making it fit wherever you put it, which is exactly what I was looking for. When this one eventually wears out, I'll 100% buy another one again because it's small and it matches every single one of my outfits!

Cute but cheaply made
Color: Black
I love this bag so much. However, I had to purchase twice because the first one broke due to the fabric on the inside catching on the zipper and when I tried to undo it, it ripped. The second bag still has problems with the zipper but it has stayed in good condition. The bag holds quite a lot and it’s really good. Overall I would say that bad is cheap but also lasts? Just be cautious of the zipper.

WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT- and I’m NOT picky.
Color: Black, Color: Black
DO NOT BUY. Genuinely the worst product I have ever bought. I’m not a picky person. But upon receiving this bag, I immediately felt iffy about the material of the bag. Then I opened it to get a whiff of a rancid fishy smell. As I’m not a picky person, and it was $20, I moved past these two immediate issues. My problem came on day 4 when the interior ripped. The material is so cheap it was not able to be sewn to be fixed. I was irritated, but was able to move on from even this. Day 6 of use was the final straw for me. The zipper got caught and completely stuck on the ripped material. While trying to wiggle it, the tab to pull the zipper came off. While again trying to get it open by hand, the zipper ripped completely open and part of the zipper track came off. This is THE MOST DISAPPOINTING ITEM I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. Absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND. DO NOT GET THIS BAG. I don’t even want to give this one star.

SO MUCH SPACE AND IS SO CUTE
Color: Black, Color: Black
I LOVE this bag. To give you an idea, yeah duh it’s cute whatever. BUT let me tell you I brought this to an all day race event and fit my (large) wallet, 2 pairs of sunglasses, all of my lippies, AND NOT ONE BUT TWO FULL BOTTLES OF COKE!!! And it still zipped. Insane amount of space in this thing and it’s so cute too. 10/10 would recommend and I’m buying it in the khaki color too!
