Dasgupta provides his perspective based
on his decades of research on welfare
and development economics as well as the

We need to look at the metrics of the
biosphere the same way we do for human
capital. Prof. Sir Partha Dasgupta, a
member of the Institute Forum, is
emphasizing that there’s a lot to be
gained by inter-company cooperation with
the aim of more inclusive growth.

economics? Why is GDP not the best
measure of progress nowadays? What is
needed to make the impact economy work?

Global Wealth Management and fellow of

Institute explains.

convenor

sustainable future.
