hazelisoffline's review against another edition
3.0
I'd feel weird rating this as it's a guide for policymakers, I just want to point out that GDP's not accounting for climate change was hardly mentioned. One paragraph that sticks out calls it out as an imminent existential threat, and then barely mentions it again. I guess that's less of a criticism of this specific book and more of Society as a whole, but I was hoping for more discussion of Green GDP and the Sustainable Development Index within the eco-version of Sustainable.
The fact that nearly all life on earth doesn't count towards GDP ("the economy") until it is killed, processed, and sold, should feature a little more prominently in a criticism of GDP, right?
