The main objective of politicians is to maximise economic growth,
which heavily drives political policy and decision-making. Critics
of the maximisation of growth as the central aim of economic policy
have argued that growth in itself is not necessarily a good thing,
particularly for the environment; however, what would replace the
system and how it would be measured are questions that have been
rarely answered satisfactorily. First published in 1991, this book
was the first to lay out an entirely new set of practical proposals
for developing new economic measurement tools, with the aim of
being sustainable, 'green' and human-centred. Victor Anderson
proposes that a whole set of indicators, rather than a single one,
should play all the roles that GNP (Gross National Product) is
responsible for. With a detailed overview of the central debates
between the advocates and opponents of continued economic growth
and an analysis of the various proposals for modification, this
title will be of particular value to students interested in the
diversity of measurement tools and the notion that economies should
also be evaluated by their social and environmental consequences.
