Summary, etc. | Chaotic though the world-system may be, more and more groups are moving toward the breakthrough zone, toward sustainable, gender-neutral development where whole new. patterns of operation prevail which are based on win-win models and a newly emerging 'planetary' culture.<br/><br/>And yet industrial society goes on using the growth of GNP to measure progress- whereas what is needed, Hazel Henderson argues, are new 'scorecards', scorecards which measure our satisfaction with the total human journey by tracking broader economic and social goals including quality of education, healthcare, and environment.<br/><br/>How we count, Henderson points out, determines what we get. GNP is based solely on paid production and leaves out a vast majority of economic activity in the world including unpaid labour, environmental costs and risks to future generations. As a step toward quantifying the 'new prosperity of the 21st Century, Paradigms in Progress presents "Country Futures Indicators which measure progress toward a more realistic and workable human ecology and help answer the underlying question that many are asking: "What is progress, wealth, growth, development, and how do we know when we are succeeding? of interest to politicians, policy makers, social planners, business people and social activists. |
