Pirate Television: John de Graaf and David Batker - What's the Economy for Anyway?


freespeechtv

John talks about the misleading goals that the US economy aims for. The GDP, formed in 1930's, confirms that the creation and purchase of goods reflect a strong economy. John argues otherwise saying a good economy should produce a better standard of living, and not simply accumulation of ?stuff?. We need to find a better way to measure our success through art, health, family, and community because currently we are stuck in a economic society that is focused on the old goals of mass production of needless goods.
