The New Metrics of Growth: Rethinking Development for the 21st Century
Author: Gabula Sadat
Discover a New Blueprint for Progress in a Complex World.
For decades, we have been governed by a single, flawed number: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) . It tells us how fast we are spending, but it remains silent on whether we are thriving. It cannot measure the health of our communities, the state of our planet, or the genuine happiness of our citizens.
In "The New Metrics of Growth," renowned strategic architect Gabula Sadat delivers a powerful and essential guide for leaders, policymakers, and changemakers. This book is a manifesto for a long-overdue revolution in how we define and measure success.
Moving beyond the limitations of traditional economics, Sadat explores the dynamic frameworks that are shaping the future of development. Dive deep into the world of integrated dashboards, including:
- Gross National Happiness (GNH): Prioritizing well-being over mere output.
- The Social Progress Index: Measuring the fabric of society beyond economics.
- The OECD Better Life Index: Putting quality of life at the heart of policy.
Drawing on nearly two decades of frontline experience in public health, supply chains, and organizational development, Sadat doesn't just critique the old system—he provides a field-tested blueprint for a new one. This book offers a practical pathway for aligning our measurements with our deepest values: sustainability, equity, and human flourishing.
