Growth patterns have changed radically over the last two decades,
to which capital and the labour markets appear to have failed to
adapt. Unemployment in Europe has been growing, almost without
remission, to levels unseen since the Great Depression. These facts
are somewhat at odds with the development of growth theory which
has mainly been orientated towards an equilibrium full employment
framework. The main message of equilibrium theory of fluctuations
was precisely that the policy maker is impotent. Now, with the
universal acceptance of endogenous growth theory, the common
concensus proposition would be `we are all neo-classical for the
short run and Keynesian for the long run' (investment being too
important for growth to be left entirely in private hands).

In the first book of its kind, leading economists from around the
world, including Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, Elizabeth Beasely,
Jacob Hacker, Francois Bourguignon, Nora Lustig, Alan B. Krueger,
and Joseph E. Stiglitz, describe a range of fascinating metrics -
from economic insecurity and environmental sustainability to
inequality of opportunity and levels of trust and resilience - that
can be used to supplement the simplistic measure of gross domestic
product, providing a far more nuanced and accurate account of
societal health and well-being.
In 2009, a group of economists issued a report challenging gross
domestic product (GDP) as a measure of progress and well-being.
Now, in Measuring What Counts they - 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.
