Alternative metrics exist to measure national wealth and assets rather than economic flows
Alternative metrics such as the Inclusive Wealth Index and inclusive income accounts exist to evaluate national asset bases and comprehensive wealth rather than focusing solely on traditional economic flows like GDP.
The claim states that alternative metrics exist to measure national wealth and assets instead of economic flows. Multiple retrieved studies (e.g., [0], [1], [2], [7], [8]) discuss frameworks like inclusive wealth accounting and the Inclusive Wealth Index, which specifically focus on capital assets (natural, human, and produced capital) rather than mere economic flows. There are no papers refuting this claim.
