Success Metric

Kevin Hicks

Growth in output
Today called GDP
Is how economists measure
The success of an economy
Is that a good metric?
Let’s look critically
What if we measured
What matters for humanity?
What about clean air and water?
What about literacy?
What about education metrics?
How about adequate nutrition?
And adequate sanitation?
What about the pulse of the planet?
Measured by atmosphere carbon
And biodiversity?
There are better metrics
For the success of humanity
