"The Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators are important to anyone who cares about a sensible economy, a healthy planet and a livable life for all grandchildren. We must get beyond the flawed macro-economic indicators and archaic accounting which now distort societal deliberations and decisions and this book is a sensible, significant step in the right direction."

"As the U.S. transitions from an industrial economy to an information economy, it is incumbent upon our government to restructure how we measure GNP and GDP. It is essential so that we might more judiciously spend taxpayer dollars. The Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators are the foundation upon which national indicators must build. It is a systems approach that better reflects the ‘real world'! A must read for every Member of Congress, agency officials and especially economic reporters and pundits."
