Download or read book The Pricing of Progress written by Eli Cook and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Americans come to quantify their society’s progress and well-being in units of money? In today’s GDP-run world, prices are the standard measure of not only our goods and commodities but our environment, our communities, our nation, even our self-worth. The Pricing of Progress traces the long history of how and why we moderns adopted the monetizing values and valuations of capitalism as an indicator of human prosperity while losing sight of earlier social and moral metrics that did not put a price on everyday life. Eli Cook roots the rise of economic indicators in the emergence of modern capitalism and the contested history of English enclosure, Caribbean slavery, American industrialization, economic thought, and corporate power. He explores how the maximization of market production became the chief objective of American economic and social policy. We see how distinctly capitalist quantification techniques used to manage or invest in railroad corporations, textile factories, real estate holdings, or cotton plantations escaped the confines of the business world and seeped into every nook and cranny of society. As economic elites quantified the nation as a for-profit, capitalized investment, the progress of its inhabitants, free or enslaved, came to be valued according to their moneymaking abilities. Today as in the nineteenth century, political struggles rage over who gets to determine the statistical yardsticks used to gauge the “health” of our economy and nation. The Pricing of Progress helps us grasp the limits and dangers of entrusting economic indicators to measure social welfare and moral goals.

This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, language: English, abstract: Do well-known indicators really reflect what they are supposed to? Given today’s challenges regarding society, the environment and the economy, the sustainability of our economic system is questioned. GDP is currently one of the most important indicators of our economy and is considered a proxy of economic health and standard of living of a country. However, the measure poses problems in terms of the appropriate portrayal of genuine progress. This thesis aims at proposing alternative measures which represent sustainable development in an improved way over GDP. Thereby, the economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainable development form the basis of examination. In the first place, GDP is examined for its suitability as a progress indicator. Its relevance in policy making and reasons for its persistence are worked out. Finally, alternatives which are grouped in adjusting, supplementing and replacing GDP, are presented and examined according to their coverage of the sustainable development dimensions. The examination shows that there are indeed measures which represent genuine progress in a better way. However, those indicators pose drawbacks regarding their methodology, credibility and complexity. Therefore, they cannot sufficiently replace or adjust GDP. Supplementing GDP currently appears to be the most feasible approach since it sets GDP in a more sustainable context without neglecting its benefits.

Book Synopsis Using the Right Environmental Indicators by : Julie L. Hass
Download or read book Using the Right Environmental Indicators written by Julie L. Hass and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding and using indicators that are most suited for tracking progress, raising awareness and supporting analysis is a challenge. Indicators need to be used in appropriate contexts and should ideally be fit-for-purpose. For example, indicators which are best used for awareness-raising cannot be used for monitoring policy goals. This report presents a short review of different indicators typically encountered by environmental policy makers. General advice is provided regarding their uses. In the second part of the report, an overview of the environmental-economic accounting work of the Nordic statistical institutes is presented. Lessons learned from the development of these accounts as well as ideas for future work are described. These types of environmental accounts provide a framework for developing information about the connections between the economy and the environment. The study was commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers and conducted by the national statistical agencies in the Nordic countries, led by Statistics Norway and Statistics Sweden.

Book Synopsis Developing Societal Progress Indicators by : Dennis Trewin
Download or read book Developing Societal Progress Indicators written by Dennis Trewin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a broad recognition that the development of cross-cutting, high-quality, shared, and accessible information about a society's progress is crucial to ensure that decision-making is simultaneously responsive and responsible at all levels. There is no single correct way to manage a project to measure societal progress - different projects will have different goals, audiences and resources. However, there are certain steps which most projects should consider when planning and implementing the process. This paper presents advice and practical guidelines for anyone who is considering running a societal progress indicators project. It identifies six key steps in the process, from defining the issue and selecting collaborators, through producing and disseminating the indicators, to ensuring they are used and remain relevant.

Book Synopsis Monitoring Progress Toward Successful K-12 STEM Education by : Committee on the Evaluation Framework for Successful K-12 STEM Education
Download or read book Monitoring Progress Toward Successful K-12 STEM Education written by Committee on the Evaluation Framework for Successful K-12 STEM Education and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a 2011 report by the National Research Council (NRC) on successful K-12 education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Congress asked the National Science Foundation to identify methods for tracking progress toward the report's recommendations. In response, the NRC convened the Committee on an Evaluation Framework for Successful K-12 STEM Education to take on this assignment. The committee developed 14 indicators linked to the 2011 report's recommendations. By providing a focused set of key indicators related to students' access to quality learning, educator's capacity, and policy and funding initiatives in STEM, the committee addresses the need for research and data that can be used to monitor progress in K-12 STEM education and make informed decisions about improving it. The recommended indicators provide a framework for Congress and relevant deferral agencies to create and implement a national-level monitoring and reporting system that: assesses progress toward key improvements recommended by a previous National Research Council (2011) committee; measures student knowledge, interest, and participation in the STEM disciplines and STEM-related activities; tracks financial, human capital, and material investments in K-12 STEM education at the federal, state, and local levels; provides information about the capabilities of the STEM education workforce, including teachers and principals; and facilitates strategic planning for federal investments in STEM education and workforce development when used with labor force projections. All 14 indicators explained in this report are intended to form the core of this system. Monitoring Progress Toward Successful K-12 STEM Education: A Nation Advancing? summarizes the 14 indicators and tracks progress towards the initial report's recommendations.
Book Synopsis Indices and Indicators in Development by : Stephen Morse
Download or read book Indices and Indicators in Development written by Stephen Morse and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2013 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of numbers to condense complex systems into easily digested 'bites' of information is very much in fashion. At one level they are intended to enhance transparency, accountability and local democracy, while at another they provide a means of enhancing performance. However, all indicators suffer from the same basic problem that, ironically, is also their biggest advantage - condensing something highly complex into a few simple numbers. Love them or hate them, there is no denying that people use indicators to make decisions. Indices and Indicators explores the use of indicators within the field of human development. Part I provides a brief outline of the contested meaning of 'development' and how indices and indicators have been used as means of testing the realization of these development visions in practice in a range of institutional contexts. Part II discusses the limitations of such indices and indicators and illustrates how they are dependent upon the vision of development adopted. The book also suggests how indices and indicators can best be employed and presented. Given our overwhelming reliance on indices and indicators for measuring progress, directing policy and allocating resources, this book is essential core reading for academics, undergraduate and post-graduate students in social science, economics, geography and development studies as well as development practitioners, policy-makers and donor and international funding agencies.
