My hypothesis is the lack of quality is being driven by our quantitative and empirical obsessions. It's more difficult, if not impossible in some cases, to accurately quantify qualitative outputs. But I think if enough research was done, it would show that quality is an ultimate driver of success in many domains. It's a sad state of affairs that starts at the top, where governments are mostly driven by things like GDP.
