How moving beyond GDP will improve wellbeing and sustainabilityNever before in human history have we produced so much data, and this empirical revolution has shaped economic research and policy profoundly. But are we measuring, and thus managing, the right thingsthose that will help us solve the real social, economic, political, and environmental challenges of the twentyfirst century? In Measuring Tomorrow, loi Laurent argues that we need to move away from narrowly useful metrics such as gross domestic product and instead use broader ones that aim at wellbeing, resilience, and sustainability. By doing so, countries will be able to shift their focus away from infinite and unrealistic growth and toward social justice and quality of life for their citizens.The time has come for these broader metrics to become more than just descriptive, Laurent argues; applied carefully by private and public decision makers, they can foster genuine progress. He begins by taking stock of the booming field of wellbeing and sustainability indicators, and explains the insights that the best of these can offer. He then shows how these indicators can be used to develop new policies, from the local to the global.An essential resource for scholars, students, and policymakers, Measuring Tomorrow covers all aspects of wellbeingincluding health, education, and the environmentand incorporates a broad range of data and fascinating case studies from around the world: not just the United States and Europe but also China, Africa, the Middle East, and India.
