Social Progress Imperative Executive Director Michael Green walks us through the history of how the world came to rely so heavily on GDP despite its creator's early warning, and why we are ready for a measurement revolution to begin measuring what really matters.
Green showcases the tenuous relationship between economic development and social development punctuated by findings of the Social Progress Index 2014, and highlights how the global Index's framework is being used at a regional level in Brazil.
