Why this matters
Good lives need more than more goods. Time, health, safety, close ties and a sense of hope also matter.
What we want to change
Judge change by how people live. Build places where people can meet, travel easily and find a home.
Are our lives getting better?
People’s own view of life matters. Money and output are tools. Better lives are the goal.
