But just think of GDP as people continually try to patch the super-shitty world!

That would make sense. You'd measure GDP, which is a gross figure. But making your life livable again doesn't help your net.

Just like if you feel you need bodyguards, are you as well off as someone who spends the same on something he doesn't feel compelled to buy?
