Reviews

Praise for Measuring What Counts
"Nobel-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz's (former chief economist of the World Bank) new book: Measuring What Counts: The Global Movement for Well-Being (The New Press, 2019) tackles the issue by exposing its paramount importance in judging how society gauges prosperity or alternatively the failure of prosperity."
