The «Sarkozy Report» edited by Joseph E. Stiglitz, Amartya Sen and Jean-Paul Fitoussi arguedthat GDP does not provide reliable information on the economic performance and social progressof a country. The Commission expressed, rather, a preference for an indicator of «sustainable well-being»,even if, as is well documented, its effective processing entails significant difficulties. In this paper I willoutline the main implications of a vision of economic and social process that assumes present and futurewell-being as its centre. This is no purely statistical/accounting matter, for it raises more important andcomplex issues in terms both of economic analysis and economic policy that merit deeper collective research.
