Maybe this is a better way of measuring progress instead of GDP and productivity? TED: Which country does the most good for the world? Simon Arnholt [VIDEO] And maybe instead of re-distribution of wealth (which is zero-sum) it should be a redistribution basic food, housing, entertainment and access to education (which is non-zero sum and can be optimized for).
