¿Hacia dónde estamos creciendo?: los límites del Producto Bruto Interno

Abstract

Currently the Gross Domestic Product is the most used measure to measure the state of an economy; nevertheless, this index does not measure various aspects of a society. In the case of Peru, in recent years, it has been what many economists have called an “economic miracle” due to the high growth rates of GDP; however, we ask ourselves if the country has truly lived through a miraculous stage based on a brief review of other indicators, as well as a brief review of what we consider valuable. Our conclusion is that GDP growth in these years has not been reflected in other aspects of Peruvian society.
