Main argument
- For over half a century, gross domestic product has been used as the single most important measure of a country’s progress.
- Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate and Economist, Columbia University, argues that GDP fails to reflect a nation’s overall well-being.
- Growth without inclusiveness can lead to instability.
- Stiglitz advocates for a more holistic view of growth and for more inclusive growth.
Key findings
- GDP is insufficient as the sole measure of national progress.
- Inclusive growth is necessary to avoid instability associated with growth that is not broadly shared.
