Didn't the original person that ... constructed the GDP as a measurement talk about the limitations of it quite a bit?
<:pepeLMAO:644901342216847388> and people think it's like... highly meaningful and very important
Economists legit come from clown college, then churn out with the highest starting salary with a bachelor smdh
```Simon Kuznets, the economist who developed the first comprehensive set of measures of national income, stated in his first report to the US Congress in 1934, in a section titled "Uses and Abuses of National Income Measurements":[11]
The valuable capacity of the human mind to simplify a complex situation in a compact characterization becomes dangerous when not controlled in terms of definitely stated criteria. With quantitative measurements especially, the definiteness of the result suggests, often misleadingly, a precision and simplicity in the outlines of the object measured. Measurements of national income are subject to this type of illusion and resulting abuse, especially since they deal with matters that are the center of conflict of opposing social groups where the effectiveness of an argument is often contingent upon oversimplification. [...]``` Damn
It's too bad when people clip out people's metrics/measures, it doesn't ever come with context of the psychology and critiques they provide <:breadthink:663617149805395968>
``` In 1962, Kuznets stated:[29]
Distinctions must be kept in mind between quantity and quality of growth, between costs and returns, and between the short and long run. Goals for more growth should specify more growth of what and for what.```
