Comments on: GDP Growth Needs Replacing, But With What? http://inspiredeconomist.com/2008/09/04/gdp-growth-needs-replacing-but-with-what/ Discussing the people, ideas, and companies that redefine capitalism and inspire positive change Sat, 19 May 2012 05:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Chris Milton http://inspiredeconomist.com/2008/09/04/gdp-growth-needs-replacing-but-with-what/comment-page-1/#comment-224 Chris Milton Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:58:50 +0000 http://inspiredeconomist.com/?p=690#comment-224 Hi Gavin -- thanks very much for the question! GPI takes into account a whole variety of factors, such as biodiversity, overall health, household stability etc, basically the costs incurred by an economy. So while GDP measures the value of all goods and services produced, GPI then takes away the cost of crime, habitat loss, failing health etc to produce a NET figure. I've been meaning to blog on it -- something for next week methinks. Once you understand it though, it makes the graph at the top of this blog rather scary. Best wishes -- Chris.
