  • haha I'm Native american (Indigenous) and the instant I heard about this in my environmental science class I completely agreed with it, this and the HDI.

  • @MrRobinMurphy GPI. the volume button is next to the play button.

  • This guy is right. The GDP doesn't take into account, or doesn't deduct, the depletion of resources. and environmental damage due to that production of goods, it also doesn't see a difference in quality between goods either.

  • Everyone need to vote, favorite, comment on and share this video right now.

  • It would be great to have this terrific video in a less choppy version. It's very distracting to show to students in its current form! They have a hard time getting past the poor quality video.

  • this is so true. We are part of the planet... and we live hier as guests and not as masters... therefore we should have respect for nature... Living in this planet could be so much easier, but we have made it complex and difficult, and we are destroying our inheritage, our home.... and because of wrong concepts... let's welcome the GPI

  • I agree with MerrinPearse... our view that growth is going to solve all of our problems in this country has brought us nothing. Even if you're a climate change denier... you can't deny that our rivers and oceans are polluted, our drinking water tainted, our food chain is filled with toxic chemicals. We're now a nation that is riddled with cancer, diabetes and other diseases as a result. We need to get our priorities straight. The GPI sounds like a great tool to get on track.

  • nice teeth!

  • Did not realise how crazy the use of GDP is to measure progress till watching this video. The sooner more politicians, economists and business owners come to agreement on using a tool like GPI to measure progress the better for us all.

    Lets share this to as many people as we can so that more people realise how misleading GDP is when used as it being used.
