There are plenty of such measures. They just aren't very flattering for the GDP-growth dogma. See e.g. The World Happiness Report, (I)HDI, GNW, GNH.

- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI checked the first two, and both the World Happiness Report and IHDI seem to be very well correlated with GDP per capita.
- jampekka 2y agoThe Happiness Index includes GDP per capita in their metric, IHDI includes GNI per capita.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoThat seems pretty flattering for the GDP-growth dogma, then, if organizations trying to measure happiness and human development feel that GDP statistics are an important input.
- cryptonector 2y agoGNI is about inequality, which again many of us in this thread argue is not a good measure. Bringing it back in through the backdoor doesn't help. Argue the points.
- jampekka 2y agoGNI is Gross National Income, which is not about inequality. It's essentially GDP corrected with money transfers from and to other countries. You're probably confusing it to the Gini coefficient.
- cryptonector 2y agoAh yes, sorry -- both pronounced the same way.
