GDP has been the number many countries optimize for, but I wonder what kind of blind spots this optimization has created.
For example, GDP doesn’t measure happiness, externalities like pollution, or health spans of the population.
If you were to design a better metric that countries should optimize for, what would it be?

is there a measure that might be better at showing more broad results than just economic ones?
for example happiness or fitness or quality of life?
