You'll need to have some sources for that!
- ttoinou 1y agoI don’t. It’s people who pretend the economy can be measured that should prove their point (they can’t)
- mmooss 1y agoGDP has been studied and demonstrated for decades. I wonder if there are any economic metrics that are better studied.

And every country measures it differently. Even if it was really meaningful, by the simple Cobra effect it would be made meaningless
- mmooss 1y agoIt's an argument based on research and expert consensus. What is your argument based on?
