Show by Social Progress Imperative
While global social progress surged steadily for decades, the last ten years have seen an alarming plateau, reveals the new edition of the Social Progress Index Time Series. Host Michael Green and Scott Stern, David Sarnoff Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, explore the newly released Index, which tracks long-term global societal well-being (1990-2023) beyond traditional economic measures. They analyze why some of the biggest economies are stalling on fundamental measures of well-being, how European and American development models compare, and whether alternative development strategies offer a better path forward for social progress.Explore the new edition of the Time Series at https://www.socialprogress.org/social-progress-index-time-series This conversation was part of our Index launch event.
