Never before in human history have we produced so much data, and this empirical revolution has shaped economic research and policy profoundly. But are we measuring, and thus managing, the right things - those that will help us solve the real social, economic, political, and environmental challenges of the twenty-first century? In Measuring Tomorrow, Éloi Laurent argues that we need to move away from narrowly useful metrics such as gross domestic product and instead use broader ones that aim at well-being, resilience, and sustainability. By doing so, countries will be able to shift their focus away from infinite and unrealistic growth and toward social justice and quality of life for their citizens.

"In this book, Éloi Laurent addresses the challenge of ensuring that measurement of the economy reflects all the dimensions of what society values, including the sustainable use of resources. This is a practical contribution to the increasingly salient agenda of going beyond GDP´ in setting metrics to guide public policy, incorporating indicators of environmental quality and well-being."--Diane Coyle, author of GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History
