Publisher Description A bold agenda for a better way to assess societal well-being, by three of the worlds leading economists and statisticians.In 2009, a group of economists led by Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz, French economist Jean-Paul Fitoussi, and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen issued a report challenging gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of progress and well-being. Published as Mismeasuring Our Lives by The New Press, the book sparked a global conversation about GDP and a major movement among scholars, policy makers, and activists to change the way we measure our economies. Now, in Measuring What Counts, these economists, summarising the deliberations of a panel of experts on the measurement of economic performance and social progress hosted at the OECD, the official think tank of the advanced countries, propose a new, "beyond GDP" agenda. The book offers an accessible overview of the last decades global movement, sparked by their original critique of GDP, and proposes a new "dashboard" of metrics to assess a societys health, including measuring inequality and economic vulnerability, whether growth is environmentally sustainable, how people feel about their lives, and what factors contribute to individuals and countries success. It also offers a guide for policy makers and others on how to use these new tools to change the way we measure our lives--and to plot a radically new path forward. Author Biography Joseph E.
