GDP a brief but affectionate history, revised and expanded edition -- Contents -- Note on the Paperback Edition -- Introduction -- One: From the Eighteenth Century to the 1930s: War and Depression -- Two: 1945 to 1975: The Golden Age -- Three: The Legacy of the 1970s: A Crisis of Capitalism -- Four: 1995 to 2005: The New Paradigm -- Five: Our Times: The Great Crash -- Six: The Future: Twenty-first-Century GDP -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Index.

Why did the size of the U.S. economy increase by 3 percent on one day in mid-2013—or Ghana’s balloon by 60 percent overnight in 2010? Why did the U.K. financial industry show its fastest expansion ever at the end of 2008—just as the world’s financial system went into meltdown? And why was Greece’s chief statistician charged with treason in 2013 for apparently doing nothing more than trying to accurately report the size of his country’s economy? The answers to all these questions lie in the way we define and measure national economies around the world: Gross Domestic Product. This entertaining and informative book tells the story of GDP, making sense of a statistic that appears constantly in the news, business, and politics, and that seems to rule our lives—but that hardly anyone actually understands.
