i've only seen one news item about this conference since last week, and the item was basically a press release announcing the results of a GlobeScan survey regarding popular interest level about the need for indexes replacing GDP:

bruno-ken:

This research across 10 countries shows public support for such broader measures of true wealth, looking beyond GDP. Clearly, international public opinion would be supportive of the goals of the Beyond GDP Conference in the European Parliament in November 2007.

it's too bad that there is not more media coverage of this growing interest and concern about moving beyond GDP-based evaluations, especially when a formal conference featuring top leaders of the EU is taking place to address these matters.

perhaps the media can only handle one paradigm-shift at a time.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
