DISCUSSION: The economists think that GNP is a good measure of well-being (lines 1-3) and they think that an increase in GNP leads to improvements in human indicators (lines 21-24).
___________
- CORRECT. Lines 21-24 support this. More GNP leads to improved human indicators.
- What idiot would say that all the human indicators mentioned in lines 13-19 are irrelevant? Everyone thinks health is important. The economists merely point that if we focus on GNP, human indicators will get better too (lines 21-24).
- This is something the author might agree with, based on lines 33-40. But the economists don’t mention distribution of wealth at all.
- Why would economists believe this? If everyone drops dead, that won’t help the economy.
- The economists think that GNP is all we need (lines 1-3). Lines 21-24 suggest they believe that we’ll improve human indicators anyway, as long as we improve GNP.
