It drives government policy on a variety of vital areas, from health to education. Yet perhaps for the first time since its invention in the 1930s, a wide range of people regard this icon of economic growth as a problem. Gross Domestic Problem unpacks GDP -- what it measures, what it doesn't, and why -- and reveals the powerful politics that have allowed it to dominate today's economies. Lorenzo Fioramonti demonstrates just how little GDP has to do with equity and social and environmental justice, and shows that an alternative is possible."--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Gross national product|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85057428|vStatistics.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001414 650 0 Gross domestic product.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh93006719 650 0 Industrial productivity|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85065915|xForecasting.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005779 650 7 Gross national product|xStatistics.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/948111 650 7 Gross national product.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/948095 650 7 Gross domestic product.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/948090 650 7 Industrial productivity|xForecasting.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/971516 650 7 Industrial productivity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/971502 655 0 Electronic books|xStatistics|xElectronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Statistics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423727 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 655 7 Statistics.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026181 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFioramonti, Lorenzo.|tGross Domestic Problem : The Politics Behind the World's Most Powerful Number.|dLondon : Zed Books, ©2013|z9781780322735 830 0 Economic controversies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2012040137 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=529451|zOnline eBook.
