| Předběžná náplň práce |
| In recent history economics has focused on GDP and GDP growth as the be-all and end-all of economic prosperity. With the global economy creaking towards low levels of growth and much stagnation, it is time to rethink the basis of our economic theory. We must determine whether GDP is an accurate statistical representation of a state’s (and its citizens) well-being.
Early in his Presidency Nicholas Sarkozy commissioned an economics commission headed by Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen, and Jean-Paul Fitoussi, with the aim of finding a more suitable alternative to measuring economic performance and social progress. Due to other economic (Global Recession) and political (Sarkozy losing power) crises, the commission’s findings were not properly implemented. Thus I will apply and advance the findings and suggestion of the Stiglitz Commission. |
