Sovereign Finance

The GDP Illusion and Alternative Prosperity


Listen Later

On this episode we take a critical look at Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. Is it the best measure of well-being? We'll discuss its significant exclusions, the relationship between income and happiness, and personal experiences that show the value of non-monetary activities.

We'll talk about the environmental cost of production, the creation of harmful goods, and the concerning practices of money creation. The episode will also touch on the scarcity of our natural resources and the lack of effective action from world leaders.

Join us as we contemplate the future that awaits our children and consider a different vision of growth that prioritizes community and genuine contribution.
