DISCUSSION: The author makes an argument: we should focus on human indicators rather than GNP.
___________
- Which method is that? We’re not told how to direct efforts (i.e. build this, in that place), we’re told what goals we should pursue (e.g. more health, rather than more wealth).
- CORRECT. The whole passage argues that GNP is a bad indicator of national welfare.
- This is part of the argument, but the main point of the argument is to argue against GNP in general.
- The argument didn’t say that inequality is inevitable. It just said that GNP can sometimes disguise inequality.
- Why would the argument say that? It constantly argues against political economists!
