Measuring progress

past survey have at the top of the happiest nation list are developing countries like Nigeria. the truth is , though the GDP figures of these country are low, they people seem more contented and happy with their lives.. in fact GDP figures , in my personal opinion, does create a quest for more in the developing world, this leads to frustration and low happiness index. the statement "the more u have the more u want" is absolutely true. happiness and wealth are ambiguously related.

I congratulate the authors for the report. For years, many economists and sociologists have been stressing the importance of, at least, taking into account the reproductive work into the GDP, that is the "hidden" and unpaid work neccesary to keep on with the humanity, usually carried out by women throughout the world. Good to see some effects now.

Can two equal forces remain equal on a purely fundamental liniar level?\
