    People have been told their entire lives that the GDP of their nation matters without ever considering what it actually represents, or how it actually went up.

    Great, number go up, but why and who actually benefitted.

      Excuse the week-old reply but

      You got a poor, poor education if you were never taught why the GDP matters, or what it represents.
