Excerpt:

Poverty, prosperity, and planet are the three corners of the iron triangle of economic development: to achieve durable progress on one, it is imperative to make substantial gains on the other two. In an era of economic populism, rising debt, and aging populations, that will not happen easily. In fact, without the right policy framework, it is far more likely that progress on one front will come at the expense of another. This report aims to provide exactly that framework — one that can manage the trade-offs and deliver the best possible outcomes on all three fronts. For the first time, it gives governments a comprehensive way to monitor progress, identify new pathways to success, and choose the right policy priorities.
