Increase in GDP also brings very tangible improvements in income, life standards, modernization of cities, new technologies and a lot more to be happy with.



Tangible improvements for people who already have money.

GDP doesn't tell you where the money is going, and who benefits from it.

GDP may as well be a measure of how well the rich are doing because it tells you next to nothing about how the most disadvantaged in society are doing.

I figure that is intentional though.


Tangible improvements for almost everybody. The poorest people in China probably have seen biggest improvements. It’s not a capitalist government
