Better although if we want to measure the efficacy of a system as complex as an economy we need large multidimensional measures

we live in a capitalist world so having a large GDP is good

naturally we can’t only think about growing GDP, especially because of the environment, but it’s still important: it means the country can exert some economic pressure and it discourages economic blockades too

after a country is developed, yes, but if it’s a developing country it can be a pretty good benchmark of how well a country is doing. of course, when a developed country has a slight change to their gdp it doesn’t really mean much.

It genuinely doesn’t matter what source you give me. I will judge on the merit of the evidence itself not the commentary of the source.

The question I’m asking is whether this disbelief in their GDP figures is fundamentally based in actual tangible evidence or not.
