Stiglitz In 2009, a group of economists led by Nobel laureate Joseph E. 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 Mismeasuring Our Lives by The New Press the book sparked a global conversation about GDP and a major movement among scholars policy makers and activists to change the way we measure our economies. Now in Measuring What Counts Stiglitz Fitoussi and Martine Durand summarizing the deliberations of a panel of experts on the measurement of economic performance and social progress hosted at the OECD the international organization incorporating the most economically advanced countries propose a new \"beyond GDP\" agenda. This book provides an accessible overview of the last decade's global movement sparked by the original critique of GDP and proposes a new \"dashboard\" of metrics to assess a society's health including measures of inequality and economic vulnerability whether growth is environmentally sustainable and how people feel about their lives.
