For those of you who haven’t already found it, Left Business Observer editor Doug Henwood has a bloody good economics-based radio show that goes up on the web. I’ve rediscovered it after being an avid listener some years ago and can throughly recommend it. His latest interview is with Nobel laureate Joesph Stiglitz (who incidentally gave an interesting talk last night as part of the readers and writers festival.) I’m sure one of the attendant standardistas will have more to say about the talk.

    From Frog…
    “His suggestion to dump GDP as a measure of anything of value and replace it with something more relevant to the wellbeing of society would be a welcome change in the Green direction”

    It suprises me that he would say this. I wounder if this is somehow misquoted or misunderstood?

    Alternative measures to our standard concept of GDP have been tried, and in all cases failed miserably. As an international economist at the time when these things were being proposed and tested, it doesn’t quite ring true…
