Gross Domestic Product (GDP)‚ since its introduction during World War II as a measure of wartime production capacity‚ has become the nation’s foremost indicator of economic progress. It is currently widely used by policymakers‚ economists‚ and the media as the primary scorecard of a nation’s economic health and well-being. However‚ GDP was never intended for this role. It is merely a gross tally of products and services bought and sold‚ with no distinctions between transactions that add to well-being
