Comment on Global economy must move past GDP to avoid planetary disaster, warns UN chief

It’s capitalism. Policymakers aren’t just fixated on GDP because they think it’s neat. The dominant economic system is based on infinite growth. Our whole society is organized around making line go up, for the benefit of a few oligarchs, at the expense of the entire planet. That is the problem.

“We must place true value on the environment and go beyond gross domestic product capitalism."

FTFY, Antonio.
