And you know that GDP wasn't used before the 1930s? And that Simon Kuznets, the economist who developed it, warned against using it - especially due to its impact on welfare. We really don't need the targets-driven neoliberalism. There are already millions of children hungry every day in the UK, yeah?

I never said GDP should be the target, you said scrap *all* targets. I don't believe that anyone who's ever attempted anything seriously difficult could hold that position in earnest, You need some kind of numeric feedback or you're cooked.
