Unlike GDP, alternatives would not count the costs of spending on failure demand and pseudo satisfiers as progress.
There are many frameworks from other movements that measure different aspects of society i.e. Happy Planet index, Humankind Index, SDGs.
Examples of different measurement frameworks in action:
New Zealand (part of WEGo) introduced its first Wellbeing Economy budget
Santa Monica has a wellbeing index
Bhutan uses the Gross National Happiness (GNH) measure
The UK’s Social Value Act, which measures the social value of public services.
Once we know how effective an activity is at driving holistic metrics, we can then focus on how to scale it for wider benefit.
