Abstract
World wide, GNP has been and
still is not only the basic accounting
concept but also the dominant
societal goal and performance
indicator. However, the question
is on the agenda again whether
time has come to look for alternative
concepts and indicators.
National and international committees
are at work and may generate
fresh ideas or reactivate
older ones. This paper deliberately
looks at the early attempts
made to get out of the impasse
and to break the deadlock of outmoded
concepts. The expectations
that again roam about indicate
that something serious is at
stake and that in due course a
breakthrough might be possible,
the author hopes.
