Summary, etc. This book provides an alternate foundation for the measurement of the production of nations, and applies it to the U.S. economy for the postwar period. The patterns that result are significantly different from those derived within conventional systems of na tional accounts.<br/><br/>Conventional national accounts seriously distort basic eco nomic aggregates because they classify military, bureaucratic, and financial activities as creation of new wealth. In fact, these authors argue, such aggregates sho be classified as forms of social consumption which, like personal consumption, actually use up social wealth in the performance of their functions.<br/><br/>The difference between the two approaches has an impact not only on basic aggregate economic measures, but also on the very understanding of the observed patterns of growth and stagna tion. In a world of burgeoning militaries, bureaucracies, and sales forces, such matters can assume great significance at the levels of both theory and policy.
