GDP is calculated as
percentage rate of growth per quarter (3-month period) or per
a
year. The resulting number is compared in percentage terms with that of the previous
period.
Growth as a Goal
X expansion of total output relative population results in rising real wages income
thus higher standards of living
Growth lessens the burden of
scarcity

increasing
its capacity to produce more in the future.
