Book SynopsisTrade Review"In this book, Éloi Laurent addresses the challenge of ensuring that measurement of the economy reflects all the dimensions of what society values, including the sustainable use of resources. This is a practical contribution to the increasingly salient agenda of going `beyond GDP' in setting metrics to guide public policy, incorporating indicators of environmental quality and well-being."
