I think, in the long run, Jeanette's greatest success will be seen to be in the area where people ridiculed her the most: in economics. In her own words, she said, "GDP is both too narrow and too generalised to measure anything useful. It does not tell us whether the poor are getting poorer, and if most of society's wealth is held by a few. It does not tell us if we are paying more and more to control pollution and crime, rather than for real goods and services. It does not tell us if we are plundering the environment to [take] short-term monetary returns."
