[ca] Per insòlit que sembli, en ple Segle XXI, es manca d'un mètode de mesurament de la riquesa cultural. Equivocadament, als béns culturals se li exigeixen els respectius mecanismes o nivells de guany, perdent de vista el seu valor transformacional. L'esbiaixat paradigma utilitarista del desenvolupament comporta a la prevalença del mesurament de la riquesa material per sobre del mesurament de la riquesa cultural. Un repàs per teories, mesuraments i indicadors, com ara: els comptes nacionals, els comptes nacionals socials, l'Índex de Desenvolupament Humà (*IDH) i la Felicitat Interna Bruta (FIB); confirmen que la cultura és una variable no incorporada, tant en indicadors economicistes com en indicadors del desenvolupament. En conseqüència, es proposa un Índex de Mesurament de la Vida Cultural (IVC) que comprengui els següents dominis: Condició de *edu – cultura humana; Riquesa de capacitats culturals; Pobresa de disfuncionalitats culturals; Cultura de "satisfactores"; Cultura de "felizfactores". Descobrim que la veritable riquesa és una funció de la vida cultural. És l'afany per la riquesa material el que fa perdre la perspectiva i imbuir-nos en una vida de contrastos forts: entre egoisme i solidaritat; llibertat econòmica de triar versus la pobresa real sense llibertat; pobresa de vicis i riquesa d'actituds; necessitats i desitjos; coses grates i ingrates de la vida. Això i més constitueix el parany en el mesurament de la riquesa cultural: sense mètode de mesurament de la cultura, ignorància del valor transformacional de la cultura, embullats per economicismes i afanyats per utilitarismes

[en] As unusual as it may seem, in the XXI Century, there is a lack of a method of measuring cultural wealth. Cultural goods are mistakenly required to have their respective mechanisms or profit levels, losing sight of their transformational value. The skewed utilitarian paradigm of development leads to the prevalence of the material wealth measurement over the measurement of cultural wealth. A review of theories, measurements and indicators, such as: national accounts, social national accounts, the Human Development Index (HDI) and Gross Domestic Happiness (GDH); confirm that culture is an unincorporated variable, both in economic indicators and in development indicators. Consequently, it is proposed a Cultural Life Measurement Index (CLI). This index includes the following domains: Condition of education – human culture; Wealth of cultural capacities; Poverty of cultural dysfunctions; Culture of satisfiers; Culture of "happyfactors". We discover that true wealth is a function of cultural life. It is the desire for material wealth that makes people lose perspective and imbue themselves with a life of strong contrasts: between selfishness and solidarity; economic freedom of choice versus real poverty without freedom; poverty of vices and wealth of attitudes; needs and desires; pleasant and thankless things about life. It is the desire for material wealth that makes people lose perspective and imbue themselves with a life of strong contrasts: between selfishness and solidarity; economic freedom of choice versus real poverty without freedom; poverty of vices and wealth of attitudes; needs and desires; pleasant and thankless things about life. This and more constitutes the trap in the measurement of cultural wealth: without method of measuring culture, ignorance of the transformational value of culture, entangled by economisms and anxious by utilitarianisms
