Description[?]:
| FORT WILLIAM, ORANGE — With Luthori’s gross domestic product (GDP) in freefall as a result of the Diet’s vote to impose severe restrictions on women working, the government has turned to an alternative method of measuring its success: ‘gross national happiness’ (GNH). “The fixation of some on GDP is nothing but the worship of mammon,” Prime Minister Algernon Langley told the Diet. “It is a measure merely of money, not even of economic health as its proponents purport it to be.” “The Imperial Statistical Office will henceforth no longer make quarterly estimates of supposed expansion and contraction. Instead, a new measurement of gross national happiness will be adopted, taking into account family life, community participation, work-life balance, mental and physical health, and godliness.” The prime minister said that early measurements had been ‘encouraging’ and ‘demonstrative of the government's successes’. |
