Here is an article at CBS news regarding a topic we're covering in class: GDP as a measure of well being. The article summarizes the thoughts of 3 economists who participated in the World Economic Forum in early 2016. We should also keep in mind the positive aspects of GDP: it is easily and universally measured and understood, and is strongly correlated with many aspects of human well being.
More on the topic here at Harvard Business Review.
Longer article here at the Solutions Journal, which includes analysis and historical context.
