Below is a quote from Bobby Kennedy on what the Gross National Product means and more
importantly what it does not mean.
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community
values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our gross national product ... if we should
judge America by that - counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear
our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break
them. It counts the destruction of our redwoods and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic
sprawl. It counts napalm and the cost of a nuclear warhead, and armored cars for police who
fight riots in our streets. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television
programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.
"Yet the gross national product does not allow for the (1) health of our children, (2) the quality
of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the (3) beauty of our poetry or the
strength of our marriages; (4) the intelligence of our public debate or (5) the integrity of our
public officials. It measures neither our (6) wit nor our (7) courage; neither our (8) wisdom nor
our learning; neither our (9) compassion nor our (10) devotion to our country; it measures
everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it tells us everything about
America except why we are proud that we are Americans."
Kennedy mentions at least 10 things that aren't measured by GDP. YOUR task is to argue that
he is wrong. Find a way to prove that we can somewhat account for the factors he mentions in
our GDP.
Solution
As long as these points is not subject to any productive work he is right but if these lap with
productive goods and service programmes they can be included in GDP. For example, if
devotion is spread through tv channels then, people get benefit and trp, satelight rights etc. yield
a return. Hence, it can be possible to include in GDP. Similarly on several grounds we can do
that too for the other items to recorded in the ten points.
