The Measure of Progress: Counting What Really Matters

"In a technical but important book, The Measure of Progress: Counting What Really Matters , economist Diane Coyle, who previously wrote about GDP , argues that we as the economy has changed, we need to be able to measure what matters to us. As she writes, “These big questions—are things getting better? For whom? What does ‘better’ mean?”—motivate this book. It reflects over a decade’s worth of research on questions of economic statistics and measurement, particularly on the digital economy."
