WEF/Davos is a fluff conference imho.
2018 may be different. First time in a decade that all world geo segments are showing growth.
WEF tries to get support for alternative to GDP again, still.
The WEF proposes a measure of its own, dubbed the “inclusive development index.” While it takes into account growth, as measured using GDP per capita, employment, and productivity, it also incorporates several other metrics, including gauges of poverty, life expectancy, public debt, median income, wealth inequality and carbon intensity. The index also considers investments in human capital, the depletion of natural resources, and damage caused by pollution.
