It sounds like you're basically arguing for the use of NDP, net domestic product. Wear on roads et cetera is the cost of the added (design, requirements, etc) of that higher GDP, and NDP would be the net benefit.
- njarboe 9y agoGDP is not good measure of wealth, happiness, or greatness of a country. It is useful for the government to increase it when the government taxes income and sales. If everything was made to last forever and we had already produced everything we needed, GDP could be almost zero (food production in US about 2% of GDP?) and the people could be doing great.
