GDP per capita would effectively give you the same metric, unless you're also implying that we need to cull the human population.

- green_man_lives 3y ago> GDP per capita would effectively give you the same metric My point is that GDP per capita can increase because of reasons that don't necessarily make your life better. Working longer hours, or even an increase in productivity with a simultaneous increase in inequality, meaning that the per-capita GDP is increasing but income is stagnating. > unless you're also implying that we need to cull the human population. My point in bringing up population was that our GDP growth can be attributed to population growth, which is likely going to be a logistic curve. So we can't rely on population growth to contribute to GDP.
