To stop the fragmentation of our societies and to shape a sustainable economy, we require more than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and more than shareholder value as guides for governments and businesses. Measuring wellbeing in the 21st century must also take into consideration social solidarity and personal agency , as well as environmental sustainability. Prof. Dennis J. Snower, President of the Global Solutions Initiative, and Dr. Katharina Lima de Miranda, researcher at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, have developed the first-ever Recoupling Dashboard, a new instrument for measuring the wellbeing of societies.
