First World problem? Anxiety
Dissatisfaction with government and a feeling of injustice is being felt across rich countries, according to new OECD data, which found that anxiety about the economy, health and housing are widespread within advanced economies. A report in Bloomberg notes that the feeling of unease has persisted even as richer countries become safer and healthier. While the findings may seem gloomy, citizens in the 21 countries surveyed mostly supported the expansion of government services and benefits.
