Gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the most popular ways of measuring economic performance, but it says nothing about literacy, equality, political freedom and many other indicators of wealth – so why do we use it? In episode five of Teach Me How to Money, Mojo asks economics expert Dr Jason Potts to break down GDP, chats to Professor Robyn Broadbent about her groundbreaking work on the Youth Development Index and talks to students about what they think Australia should be measuring. Teach Me How to Money is a podcast that explains essential financial concepts so anyone, young, old, or just very confused, can understand. Producers: Lucy Majstorovic and Cherrie MaraniMusic: Enthusiast – Tours
