it’s actually worse than that. GDP grows when your house is burgled and you have to replace all your stolen goods. GDP grows when you become depressed, ill and/or disabled by environmental destruction and pollutants and are forced to spend the rest of your life paying for drugs in order to enable you to function and to work. GDP grows when you are encouraged to buy more food than you need, over-eat, and then throw 30% of it in the waste bin. All this is ‘good for the economy’.
