Do we have the right to live stress-free? On some economic and legal aspects of stress

Maximizing output without taking into consideration the negative externalities generated, including the harm to the mental and physical health of the population creates psychological stress. Focusing on bellwether indicators of economic performance including working more, generating income, accepting more risks, while disregarding its effect on work- life balance, on income distribution, or the quality of life in general creates stressors that harm the human biological system. Stress is the biological reaction to external stimuli that threatens the self-preservation instinct of a human organism. The stress in the "full-throttle" Capitalism of welfare societies has been generated financial and legal insecurity. Legal theory has not yet examined the role of economic legislation within the framework of all these causes of stress. The present study outlines the role of over- and under-regulation among social stress factors based on "Black-Swan" theory, and attempts to find an answer to the question of whether we have the right, rather entitlement, to live stress-free.
