I'm Confused

 

I keep on being told

We need more people for

Economic growth to happen

Increase our people core

 

Hang on? I am confused

There seems to be some hitch

Countries very populated

Why aren't they stinking rich?

 

More people create more products

But spread around with more

It seems that no-one's better off

No better than before

In process of locating David Pilling's book Tim. Seems we are being manipulated? ?

A book you'd find informative if you have time is "The Growth Delusion.
Why Economists Are Getting It Wrong and What We Can Do About It"
by David Pilling

This is something I can't work out. More people means more produced but spread around with more people, so no-one is more better off ??
Or am I missing something? ?

We do seem obessed with growth don't we? Real growth is due to increased productivity, but countries like UK are winging it due to a steadily increasing head count.
