and in cleveland the local industrial sewer the cuyahoga river caught fire.ironmentalists had found a loophole in the gnp. the gnp measures goods and services traded, for example, scrubbers used to clean sulfur emissions. clean air isn't bought or sold so it's not counted. if sulfur is not cleaned up, the resulting pollution is not subtracted. gnp is not reduced. gnp fails to take into account environmental values. if we produce a lot of goods and services, if we use up machinery that's deducted depreciation from net national product. but if we dirty the atmosphere if we cause more houses to have to be painted, that deterioration is not taken into account. if it makes more people sick and they go to more doctors, that increases gnp because doctors' services are part of gnp. by now i think that most national income statisticians concede that we can never produce a measure of aggregate economic welfare in the sense of well-being. for one thing, it's hard to add together people's satisfactions. and if you're looking primarily at gnp as a production measure, you
