Practical Fixes: Per Capita and Balance Sheets

GDP dominates political debate, but it tells us almost nothing about real prosperity, well-being, or care. 

Created as a technical statistic of massive use in wartime, GDP was never meant to measure success and yet it now drives policy, justifies inequality, and is used as an excuse for austerity.

In this video, I explain why GDP is conceptually flawed, how it rewards harm and ignores distribution, and why we urgently need economic measures that value care, prevention, and human flourishing instead of economic churn of no value at all.
