From woolly to concrete liberalism

I got round at last to reading Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, and enjoyed the book. It’s a good read and makes its case well. The pro-growth case has traction beyond the US of course. UK ministers have been on about planning regulations hampering growth ever since the July 2024 election, and a John Collison article in the Irish Times recently got the Irish chatterati talking about it.

Quotes by Diane Coyle (?)

“It turns out from a number of more recent studies that reported happiness is strongly positively linked with the change or growth in GDP per capita from year to year.”

“GDP is the way we measure and compare how well or badly countries are doing. But this is not a question of measuring a natural phenomenon like land mass or average temperature to varying degrees of accuracy. GDP is a made-up entity. The concept dates back only to the 1940s.”
― Diane Coyle, GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History
