Beyond GDP: Measuring Welfare and Assessing Sustainability
Fleurbaey, Marc (Researcher, Researcher, CNRS, CERSES,)
Is GDP a good proxy for social welfare? Building on economic theory, this book confirms that it is not, but also that most alternatives to it share its basic flaw, i.e., a focus on specific aspects of people's lives without sufficiently taking account of people's values and goals. A better approach is possible.
