Synopsis:

A film of a global justice director, Vincent Glenn, on reconsideration of wealth and its indicators, to see! Can we, in 2011, measure the progress of a society in terms of GDP? Happiness is Accounting? How to invent new measures of state of the world? Inspired by the work of the Committee Stiglitz on the questioning of the 'instrument GDP' index creeps in the maze of alternatives to the GDP with ingenuity and sharpness.

Indices, the new film by Vincent Glenn, exposes the aberrations of a mode of calculation that adds as a positive the clean-up costs to disasters, and which continues to be widely used to determine the 'quality of life' of nations.

Even today, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the indicator of wealth the most quoted by the media, by economists, journalists and politicians. What is it that makes us continue to advocate an increase in GDP, no matter if it, to take up Robert Kennedy's expression, 'measures everything except what makes life worthwhile'?
