I wish societies would stop telling us about GDP. Over my lifetime I've seen GDP change in one direction, while quality of life in society goes the other way.

I wish societies would stop telling us about GDP. Over my lifetime I've seen GDP change in one direction, while quality of life in society goes the other way. I remember France hired some Nobel Prize economists to create new and more relevant measures, but the wealthy aren't concerned about average people, so they keep using GDP since it so effectively hides all the information our society should be measuring and weighing.
