His approach challenges conventional metrics like GDP, urging a broader, more holistic framework for progress. https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2023/12/top-scientist-against-economic-growth.html The pressing question remains: how can we effectively navigate this intricate terrain while fostering innovation, equity, and sustainability?
