The little big number: how GDP came to rule the world and what to do about it

Introduction: We become what we measure

More, better, faster : the beginnings

The origins of bling : the spirit of economic growth

The crucible of crisis : the Great Depression and the need for economic indicators

Born from disaster : the making of a key measure

Forged in war

Global domination : the age of GDP

Today's ABC of GDP

More is not enough

"The people of plenty are a people of waste"

From alchemy to reason : what if? a thought experiment

Looking forward.
