Ask HN: How to evaluate a country's economic performance?

1 pointsby kostareloalmost 2 years ago
What would be the right indexes (or anything else) to evaluate a country&#x27;s performance over a specific time period?<p>I would like to evaluate my country&#x27;s (Greece) last government performance and what real effect it had over the country&#x27;s wealth and the general population.<p>That is only for personal knowledge purposes and not for a professional&#x2F;academic inquiry or something.<p>Thank you

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the headline metric.<p>There must be many books on this subject, I’m pretty sure I learned that in one of my intro level college Economics classes (Econ minor)<p>I would pull out a macroeconomics and and microeconomics book from the library and study up. Maybe grab a Udemy course on Econ as well.

id say this[4] is a fair account, despite the economist&#x27;s known unfriendliness towards greece.<p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.md&#x2F;M6tUb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.md&#x2F;M6tUb</a> - The Economist - Greece is a European success story

The question you are asking is almost &quot;what is economics?&quot;
