Measuring Tomorrow - Eloi Laurent - Bog

"In this book, Éloi Laurent addresses the challenge of ensuring that measurement of the economy reflects all the dimensions of what society values, including the sustainable use of resources. This is a practical contribution to the increasingly salient agenda of going 'beyond GDP' in setting metrics to guide public policy, incorporating indicators of environmental quality and well-being."--Diane Coyle, author of GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History"Measuring Tomorrow maps the terrain of a burgeoning field, drawing together a wealth of information and insights on the measurement of human and ecological well‐being, and contrasting new measures with the conventional narrow focus on GDP."--James K. Boyce, University of Massachusetts Amherst"Measuring Tomorrow has important things to say about how we can make sustainability and well-being more central to our politics and societies."--Daniel Mügge, University of Amsterdam
