  • How do we measure the health of an economy? The most common way is by looking at its gross domestic product, or GDP. But what does that mean exactly? Are there any limitations to this approach? What kind of goods are counted towards GDP? Let's dive into some specifics.

    Hello Prof Dave. I work as a mess attendant at a marine base and well. I started my journey into science around 12 despite it really being about "lay level" well recently, an analytical chemist heares me speaking to a friend about atomic structure and how atoms line up to form structure like graphene or in crystals or well.. everything, really. He offered my a free tutorship for free about chemistry
    And I just have to say thank you to you your videos added to my tiny pool of knowledge. I am very happy to have come across your videos and learned to expand my learning in the areas.

    Wonderful explanation of GDP, in all of its various forms. One issue with GDP, at least when used to gauge the health of an economy, is that it fails to take into account what it costs to produce a finished good. This is why some economists also contrast GDP with a nation's (or a state's) debt (since people, businesses, and governments often borrow money to operate and produce finished goods). Going back to the Germany v. China example, Germany's GDP per capita is over 4 times that of China's, which suggests that at the person living in Germany is much better off than China. Moreover, at the end of 2022 Germany's national debt was around 65% of its GDP, while China's was only around 45%. Compare either of those the U.S.'s, which is around 123%. When viewed through this lens, while the U.S. may seem like the strongest economy in the world, by GDP, it's actually quite fragile given the enormous amount of borrowing we've done to produce our final goods.
    PS - this also explains why it seems like the U.S. is almost always facing a "debt crisis" and our rate of small business and personal bankruptcy is far higher than in most other western countries.

    I'd like to add that the inequality also applies to the per capita and therefore may not be a perfect indicator either. if a disproportionate amount of the GDP goes to a small wealthy elite (as was mentioned) then the average citizen of a country will make significantly less then GDP per capita suggests as a result.

    Why the national debt is not deducted from the Gross Domestic Product.
    It turns out that the statistics are not objective.
    It seems to show that there is production, but in fact it is in debt to the ears.

    01:48 GDP counts only final goods and production within a country's borders

    If the government spends a lot of money, the GDP is elevated. But, the money the gov spends is other people's (tax-payers) money, borrowed money, and fiat money - i.e, it does not reflect true wealth, but it increases GDP. Gov spending also causes price inflation which renders nominal GDP less valid.

    I gotta disagree with the ending of your video, it's not that GDP doesn't 'prevent bias', it's that GDP has a known bias that is disregarded, whereas other options may introduce different biases that those who benefit from the bias in GDP don't like.

    GDP is a measure of goods & services that have been PURCHASED (not those that are available, as in inventory),, If I shine your shoes and you pay me $10, and you trim my hair and I pay you $10, that's $20 GDP even though neither of us has a net change in monetary wealth. Thus, GDP is (1) a deceptive metric, and (2) a measure of commercial ACTIVITY rather than wealth.
