I don't understand this. There is no shortage of concepts to replace the growth mania. Some of them are even fashionable e.g. sustainability. Sustainability is a very well-defined and meaningful concept and if it is more complex than GDP, that is only a virtue. Isn't it a mistake to insist that the concept to replace economic growth needs to be quantifiable as a single number that increases in time? -raghu. -- "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
