A Multi-Unit Framework for Measuring the Real EconomyBy Julian Alexander OrigliassoLength23h 50m
About this audiobook
Graph Economics: A Multi-Unit Framework for Measuring the Real Economy introduces a new way to understand economic life beyond money alone. Traditional measures like GDP, prices, wages, and financial accounts remain important, but they do not capture the full reality of modern value creation. The real economy also moves through time, work, energy, materials, skills, care, trust, risk, emissions, natural capital, technology, and institutional performance.
Graph Economics proposes a multi-unit framework for recording these dimensions as connected economic accounts, not loose indicators. It links events, resources, activities, outcomes, and consequences so organisations, governments, and communities can better understand how value is created, used, damaged, or renewed. This book is about measuring what matters and building economic systems that account for productivity, wellbeing, responsibility, and long-term stewardship.
