    The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic fault: they show no difference between resource uses thatprogress and those uses that will hurt it.The main measure of economic progress is the gross national product (GNP)., this totals the value of all goods and services produced and subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment.Developed a half-century ago, GNP helpeda common way among countries of measuring change in economic output.For some time, this seemed to workwell, but serious weaknesses are now appearing.As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories and equipment, but it does not the loss of natural resources, including nonrenewable resources such as oil or renewable resources such as forests.
