    What is easterlin paradox Easterlin is a fact in this world. The first time Richard Easterlin introduced it in 1974. This theory says that in the start income and happiness have positive relationships. As income increases the level of happiness also increases but after some time this relationship vanishes. It can be said that fluctuations in the economy occurs in long run like expansion and contraction. Money and Happiness in real world Suppose the poor are less happy than the rich and the rich has high level of satisfaction than the poor. The statistics shows in different countries that this is not right, happiness is a state of mind, it does not depend on income all the time.

This fund is also used as a scholarship for the students living on blew poverty line. These funds are collected in the form of Zakat and Ushr. Ushr is basically a land tax. Ushr rate is 10% on the output of naturally irrigated land and 5% on artificially irrigated land. The governments of Islamic countries are not much active in the collection of this obligation levied on land and the landowners have also had no interest to pay ushr.

Those economies of the world which have faced the problem of misallocation of funds and unequal distribution of money have many chances to collapse their economic structure one day. So the basic purpose of ushr is to help the lower-income people of the society to meet their daily needs As it says that a man ma...
