Forty years ago, Robert Kennedy gave a major speech at the University of Kansas on the limited capacity of the Gross Domestic Product represent, as an indicator, the well-being of a nation. Only three months after will be murdered in California.
What is the GDP, the Gross Domestic Product? The gauge of the company's growth? The transformation into money, an abstract concept, our health, our time, the environment? No one has ever calculated COST of GDP. The damage of empty warehouses, useless goods, trucks running empty like crazy insects, the destruction of the planet. No one has ever estimated the value of time wasted in queues for the wasted years working to produce useless objects. For the years thrown to buy unnecessary items created by advertising. The weather, the Earth, life, the family (the only important) concepts are too simple for GDP. A monster that devours the world. It eats it and accumulates. Digests it and turns it into nothing. The equation GDP = wealth spells. The products do not become useless because someone buys them useful.

be torn down when the last animal is killed
only then realize that money can not eat. "
