Can the cornerstone of post-world-war recovery cope with the complexities of today’s world? May 2014 issue of Dimensions out now!
In recent years a debate has gained momentum around the development of a new type of indicator to measure progress, one that is as clear and understandable as GDP but that also incorporates the currently unmeasured environmental, social and human costs and benefits of economic activity.
The debate raises many questions: What do we as individuals and societies want out of our economies? Is the purpose of a national economy simply the aggregation of monetary wealth? What about our well-being and prosperity, our health and ideals? How can issues such as poverty, resource depletion, the state of natural resources or ecological conditions be considered when measuring the true advancement of a nation?
With this final issue of Dimensions the IHDP Secretariat hopes to contribute to the “Beyond GDP” debate and, as always, offer a platform for discussion and opinions.
