Responding to COVID-19: Social capital and the social sector in the 21st century from Andy Haldane FAcSS
What better time than now, with social capital propping up our economies and societies, to recognise its role when keeping score on success. We should use this opportunity to broaden our measurement horizons, perhaps putting well-being and broader conceptions of capital at the very centre of how we measure success, whether as companies, economies and societies.
These words are from the Chief Economist at the Bank of England! Change is in the air. There is also a great piece on the same site from Geoff Mulgan on social imagination.
