Similarly the Western notion that individual well being is mirrored through the GDP has been questioned by academics like the Nobel prize winner Amartya Sen who proposes a capabilities approach i.e. what a person is capable of doing determines how well off he/she is. Western individualism vs Eastern collectivist spirit and so on...

Have I digressed from the topic?
