9/9 The effectiveness of New Zealand’s budget experiment has yet to be tested. If it works out, it could inspire governments elsewhere to follow suit. Read more from @SigalSamuel: bit.ly/2ZxcZMU

8/ At the end of the day, the debate around the well-being budget hinges on one important question: Should the government prioritize overall economic success, or the happiness of individuals?

6/ To measure progress toward these goals, New Zealand will use 61 indicators tracking everything from loneliness to trust in government institutions, alongside more traditional issues like water quality.

4/ New Zealand’s well-being budget requires all new spending to go toward five specific goals:
• bolstering mental health
• reducing child poverty
• supporting indigenous peoples
• moving to a low-carbon-emission economy
• flourishing in a digital age

3/ For Prime Minister @jacindaardern, the purpose of government spending is to ensure citizens’ health and life satisfaction, and that — as opposed to economic growth — is the metric by which a country’s progress should be measured.

2/ By adopting a well-being budget, New Zealand is essentially saying that it emphasizes citizen happiness over capitalist gain.

My take on Facebook’s crypto push —
Bull case: Facebook has billions of users. One of the few platforms with the scale to really do this.
Bear case: It’s hard to trust anyone online with your money in 2019. It’s even harder when your name is Facebook. vox.com/recode/2019/6/…
