Human development index (HDI)
Genuine progress indicator (GPI)
Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW)
Gross national happiness (GNH)
The Gini coefficient
Just to name a few. None of which is perfect, but at least better than the GDP when it comes to actually saying something about the quality and state of an economy.

(Ghettos would be better off if they did have rich residents.) I didn't hate rich folks when I lived in a ghetto. Was I doing something wrong?
