English term or phrase: measures of total value
No acierto a entender el significado ni a encontrar una traducción adecuada para "total value" en este texto, aunque mi apuesta es por traducirlo literalmente: "medidas de valor total". Gracias por vuestras sugerencias.

Contexto:
"Among the factors that can degrade resilience at multiple scales are: loss of biodiversity, toxic pollution, interference with the hydrological cycle, degradation of soils and erosion - but also, inflexible institutions, perverse subsidies that incentivise unsustainable patterns of consumption, and inappropriately chosen measures of total value that focus on short- term maximization of production..."

mediciones del valor total


Explanation:
Creo que se refiere a que la medición del valor de los proyectos no toma en cuenta ciertas externalidades negativas (sobre todo ambientales), puesto que el texto indica que las variables de medición se escogen según convenienci.
