First published in 1981, this title is not a 'how-to' guide on the construction of social indicators, but rather a critical and optimistic view of central issues, as embodied in the literature and in practice at the time. It contrasts some basic problems of social measurement with government's needs for reliable information.

Michael Carley, at the time of original publication, was a Fellow of the Policy Studies Institute in London. He had studied at Michigan State University, the University of British Columbia, and the London School of Economics. He gained first-hand experience of the political and theoretical difficulties in using social data for decision-making while working in Canada as a management and planning consultant to government in the field of resource development. His research interests at the time included policy analysis, social measurement and social impact assessment.
