The point is that GDP grows by consumption not
by production: the fact that all the politics - economists are
concentrated on helping industries and corporations and the work -
production part of the economic equation reveals not only an old fashion
18th century hard work - production mentality that hasn't been really
operating anymore for decades, but also the naive idea that more
production and work and competition will make economies grow: nothing
further from the truth, actually it is the exact opposite, more leisure
time and free time and consumption will make economies grow infinitely
faster and more than any new technology or innovation or research or
competition and so forth: that is why we need beaches wll organized, the
paradox is that the more Non Work, the more Leisure will help protect
and increase that very little real work that is still necessary for a
service economy.
And a Technological Economy needs more work like
a hole in the head, it needs leisure, well organized and comfortable
beaches, and so forth.
Of course the USA style of increasing
comsumption and propping up the service economy is to increase "Health
Care", make everyone think they are sick, make them all sick, give them
procedures and drugs to help protect them from "possible future
sicknesses" (that probably would never occur and anyways is so vague and
intractable, go figure) instead of creating nice beaches and
concentrating on leisure and pleasure and enjoyment and so forth. They
should take a good look at those beaches in Italy and finally get
civilized, in this sector Italy is light years ahead of anyone, no
doubt.
