Andrew@adapalmer @wlonk I think of RFK’s 1968 speech about the GDP from time to time. It’s not a perfect speech, for sure, but it fairly eloquently lays out the problems with using the GDP.
I can’t imagine a presidential candidate from a major party today giving anything close to this speech. The GDP and the stock market are now widely seen as infallible benchmarks of national success, and it drives me bonkers.
