It has become the overarching benchmark of success and a powerful ordering principle at the heart of the global economy. But the convergence of major economic, social and environmental crises has exposed the flaws of our economic system which values GDP above all else as a measure of prosperity and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this provocative and inspiring new book, political economist Lorenzo Fioramonti sets out his vision of a world after GDP. Focusing on pioneering research on alternative metrics of progress, governance innovation and institutional change, he makes a compelling case for the profound and positive transformations that could be achieved through a post-GDP system of development. From a new role for small business, households and civil society to a radical evolution of democracy and international relations, Fioramonti sets out a combination of top-down reforms and bottom-up pressures whose impact, he argues, would be unprecedented, making it possible to build a more equitable, sustainable and happy society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 The making of a post-GDP world\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 The rise and fall of the GDP ideology\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 Post-GDP economy\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Post-GDP politics\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 Post-GDP world\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e References\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Economics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economics%20%5BKC%5D%22\"\u003eKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441782649112,"sku":"9781509511341","price":42.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509511341.jpg?v=1785024816","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-world-after-gdp-politics-business-and-society-in-the-post-growth-era-hardback-9781509511341","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
