Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

To expand that: GDP is a lie that makes it seem as if there is a simple way to measure what's going on.

True. Most of the participants don't see any of the problems of the GDP measure in terms of accuracy, comparability, etc. There were a few (one certain, one I more or less assume) exceptions. But overall, the criticism of GDP on this conference ranged from 'it does not tell us everything we want to know' to 'it does not tell us most of what we want to know', without any focus on the actual problems of the measure (as opposed to the effects of the use of the measure, which is widely criticised).
