''[A] tale of cloak and dagger intrigue, intense rivalries and political machinations you''d expect in a spy thriller.'' Engineering & TechnologyGross Domestic Product is failing. For decades it has rewarded environmental destruction and obscured inequality. Its formula can be-and has been-gamed to the detriment of developing countries.In this powerfully argued book, now updated with a new chapter, science writer Ehsan Masood shows how GDP fell from the path envisaged by its architects, and how its long-term misapplication has kept large parts of the world in poverty, while helping accelerate global warming and biodiversity loss.As the world rebuilds after the coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying global recession, our need for a more sustainable and inclusive measure of economic growth has never been greater. Change must come if we are to break the cycle. With clarity and passion, Masood shows how we can update GDP for a better future.[previously published as The Great Invention in North America]

How did Gross domestic product (GDP) become the world''s most influential indicator? Why does it still remain the primary measure of societal progress despite being widely criticised for not considering well-being or sustainability? Why have the many beyond-GDP alternatives not managed to effectively challenge GDP''s dominance? The success of GDP and the failure of beyond-GDP lies in their underlying communities. The macro-economic community emerged in the aftermath of the Great Depression and WWII. This community formalised their ''language'' in the System of National Accounts (SNA) which provided the global terminology with which to communicate. On the other hand, beyond-GDP is a heterogeneous community which speaks in many dialects, accents and languages. Unless this changes, the ''beyond-GDP cottage industry'' will never beat the ''GDP-multinational''. This book proposes a new roadmap to 2030, detailing how to create a multidisciplinary Wellbeing and Sustainability Science (WSS) with a common language, the System of Global and National Accounts (SGNA).

Instead, Rakib Ehsan presents the much-needed case for an inclusive ‘social-justice traditionalism’ rooted in family, security, and equality of opportunity.‘Rakib Ehsan’s insightful book busts the many myths that the liberal Left likes to tell about Britain’s diversity and shows that there is strength in the traditional values of our ethnic-minority communities’ Lord Maurice Glasman, author of Blue Labour
