“While I wrote a glowing review of Hans Rosling’s work in his posthumously published book “FACTFULLNESS“ (2018), we at Ethical Markets  believe that the Chart on money-denominated GDP metric is destructive of social , environmental and other longer-term values, as well as the Earth’s climate.

We use the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a more accurate measure of human development and national progress ratified in 2015 by its 195 members.  The scientific surveys we conducted with GlobeScan in twelve countries in 2007, 2009 and 2013 confirm that the public in all these countries agree!
