Della Duncan | GDP vs. GNH: Rethinking What a Healthy Economy Means
As a self-described “renegade economist,” Della Duncan’s hope is that all societies will begin to focus on their citizen’s happiness as much as their GDP (Gross Domestic Product). By rethinking what it means to have a healthy economy, Della says that people and our planet can thrive—and this same mentality can work effectively for business leaders.
