In a speech that Senator Robert Kennedy gave when he was running for president in 1968, he said the following about GDP: [It] does not allow for the health f our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measured everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile, and it can tell us everything bout America except why we are proud that we are Americans. Was Robert Kennedy right? If so, why do we care about GDP?
