Abstract: | The processes of globalization driving restructuring in all countries are harbingers of a new dialogue about paths to development. This development will not be based on the old model of macroeconomic management, but on a broader, systemic view beyond economics—Mutual Development. This article examines a range of social indicators, quality-of-life indicators, and new forms of regional and national accounting, and their applicability in the planning and implementation of Mutual Development based on precepts of grassroots action, cultural diversity, and global sustainability. |
