The modern concept of GDP was first developed by Simon Kuznets for a US Congress report in 1934 after the Great Depression. It became the main tool for measuring a country’s economy after the World War II.
As a broad measure of overall domestic production, GDP functions as a comprehensive scorecard of a given country’s economic health. But with the rapid development of the industrial society, it seemed the measurement had become the one and only goal of all nations.
And the price is heavy for the whole human society. From the late 80s, people began to realise the negative impact of industrial development on the ecological environment. As we enter the millennium, young people begin to seek a more balanced and sustainable way of development for bother human society and our blue planet.
