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 \u003cem\u003eMismeasuring Our Lives\u003c\/em\u003e by The New Press, the book sparked a global conversation about GDP and a major movement among scholars, policymakers, and activists to change the way we measure our economies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in \u003cem\u003eMeasuring What Counts\u003c\/em\u003e, 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 decade's global movement, sparked by their original critique of GDP, and proposes a new \"dashboard\" of metrics to assess a society's 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 policymakers 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536769040620,"sku":"9781620975695","price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61384fb7de9fef8d4d9ccbe6c1f8a636.jpg?v=1776904304"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jean-paul-fitoussi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
