- Abstract
This paper examines the suitability of the GDP per head and other related measures as indicators of the sustainability of a given national economy. In order to do so, the au–thors will take into account recent studies where this idea has already been discussed [Stiglitz et al. (2009), Fleaurbaey (2009) and CMEPSP (2009), for example]. Nonethe-less, the authors take here a new starting point: the principles of the Catholic Social Thought. In short, the authors will present complementary indicators to GDP in order to measure economic, social and environmental sustainability. In order to do so, Papal encyclicals (e.g., Caritas in Veritate) and documents from the General Congregations of the Society of Jesus (e.g., GC.34 and 35) are considered, among other documentation.
