The Bartlett Review Podcast: Is GDP fit for purpose?

UCL Minds

In this episode of The Bartlett Review podcast, we delve into the pressing question: is our focus on GDP growth truly beneficial, or is it exacerbating our most critical challenges? As climate and ecological crises deepen and economic inequality widens, the limitations of GDP as a measure of progress become starkly evident. Join Professor Bob Costanza from UCL's Institute for Global Prosperity as he explores these issues with Professor Kate Pickett from the University of York's Department of Health Sciences, and Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president of the Club of Rome.
