Follow up from 28/11: appropriate indicators

Dear all,

Looking back at a great session I am starting this thread to compile a list of recommended reading for our discussions. Maybe it is a good idea to make short summaries of inspiring books? I am currently reading a book by Roman Krznaric, who makes a case for a so called inter-generational solidarity index. I will make a brief on that and post it here.

Like to hear your ideas to move this pressing issue forward.

Cool. I like the idea of knowledge-sharing. Books, podcasts, articles, whatever.
I wrote about indicators in Thrivability: Breaking Through to a World that Works. And worked for several years on writing a more impact-assessment focused book with a leading figure on it in France. I have had a lot of pressure over the years to come up with a Thrivability index, but I kept feeling like the parts are not there yet to get the width of it. Donut Economics has been inspiring. This work, https://www.metaintegral.com/ and https://www.metaintegral.com/wisdom-card-deck/ was built on an analysis of existing systems.

Also, the Reporting3.0 crowd might have something useful for us. https://www.r3-0.org/
