GDP does not measure the value of growing a garden and cooking your own food, but it does measure what you spend on groceries and at restaurants.
GDP does not measure the value of raising a child, but it does measure what is spent on child care.
GDP does not measure the value of being healthy, but it does measure what is spent on medical treatments.
GDP is all the state can measure and so its actions attempt to maximize only what it can measure.
Remain unmeasurable.
