[Philipsen] is not the first to question the utility of GDP estimates, but he may be the most exasperated. His comprehensive history. . . compares GDP to any number of villains in order to make tangible the number's many flaws. . . . He is keyed into how a culture that once burgeoned can implode, and he is anxious about ours.--Katy Lederer, New Yorker
