I actually think GDP is a poor measure by which to judge the success and happiness of a nation. The best illustration of that was outlined in a house of lords speech in which a female peer said ' so the more sewage we spill into our rivers , the more clean up activities we undertake and the more our gdp grows'. FFS.
If anyone reads the speech made by Robert Kennedy Senior, just before he was shot , he outlines how gdp really misses the important things in life.
