I'm Andres Acevedo and this is The Market Exit. Across the globe, we're getting richer and richer. But, why are we not feeling better? In this short documentary, I talk with awardwinning author and professor of sociology Roland Paulsen about the strange fact that mental health problems seems to increase as wealth increases. Our conversation spans from the conventional narrative around growth that you often hear from people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to the WHO's World Mental Health Survey and 7 potential explanations for why mental disorder seems to be increasing. Our discussion is based on Roland's book What If: The New Age of Anxiety.
