Terminology from the mid-1950s began being discredited sometime around the mid-1950s. Look up the term "growthmanship." It was part of the Cold War. For me, though, NSC-68 is the clincher. That memorandum spelled out Leon Keyserling's idea of stimulating GNP growth by tripling military spending.
see: http://econospeak.blogspot.ca/2009/11/notes-on-keyserling-file.html There's also Simon Kuznets's 1948 criticisms of the Commerce Department's NIPA methodology. How would I define "economic progress"? See: "Time on the Ledger: Social Accounting for the 'Good Society'" "The idea of the "labor commons union" and the social accounting framework for evaluating work-time and disposable time presented here are abstracted from my unpublished manuscript, *Jobs, Liberty and the Bottom Line*, which also contains a broad historical survey of thought about working time, technology and leisure in the industrial age." http://ecologicalheadstand.blogspot.ca/p/time-on-ledger-social-accounting-for.html On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 7:36 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > "Tom Walker" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Is that a rhetorical question? > > > On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 3:58 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> How do you define economic progress?
