    Kate Raworth is so right when she says that “economists have fixated on GDP as the first measure of economic progress…” If policymakers considered GDP only as a measure of raw market economic activity in conjunction with many other metrics, the flaws in it would be less important. If poverty rates, inequality levels, natural capital accounts, and other metrics were taken into account as heavily as GDP, then different policies and priorities would begin to emerge. As Kate went on to say: “GDP is a false goal waiting to be ousted”.
