Tim, if the country made $1 trillion on model ts and make $1 billion on ford mustangs (and ford mustangs is all that were available similar to model ts back in the day, the nation would, in fact be poorer from a monetary standpoint. that is what gdp is supposed to measure. not "feelings' of increased dollars, but actual dollars that can be counted. otherwise, i any ninny could argue that a new improved snickers bar that sells for half price is worth a million dollars in feel good "wealth." is a nation really even if a company stops selling candy bar A and starts selling candy bar B that tastes twice as good, costs half as much and sells the same units? you are literally arguing those two conditions are equal. they most assuredly are not. candy bar A generates twice the revenue and those dollars actually can be used in the economy. candy bar B may well put the company out of business. they are not equal.
