The Planetary Product in 1980: A Creative Pause,
Abstract
This latest edition of a one-man effort to assess the world's total output over three decades encounters numerous factual, conceptual, and methodological hurdles. Part I describes these difficulties, explains the meaning and reliability of the detailed statistical tables, and examines the relationships between a hard-to-grasp reality and its representation in figures. Part II considers the political and economic influences that have led to wide regional differences in growth.
