Aren’t growth numbers ‘vanity metrics’ ?   Shouldn’t we stop to ask what we really want to know?  

 

Is what I tweeted while listening to another ‘growth’ and economy update. Increased market value and increased profits is what our economy seems to be based on. But is that what we want to achieve? Is increased profit and market value how we want to grow? Maybe we should redefine ‘growth’ altogether. Redefine it into something to evolve towards. Measure the things that matter if we want to really change our economy.
