I think you need to reflect on the fact that GDP maximization has been official government policy ever since the ninth five-year plan set a growth target of 8%.
- t-3 4y agoThe party conference going on right now is scaling back growth targets... Setting goals for growth and designing your whole system of governance around it are completely different things. Sometimes economic growth is what your society needs most, but other times it is not, I see no contradiction in these things.
