Response to Historical GDP/GNP growth data from the 1800s?

from Paul A Grace (paulgrace@lookoutranch.com)
In response to Jeff Zaun's answer, I disagree. GDP is simply the total value of goods and services produced in an economy. GDP does not "pre-suppose" any objective at all. Like the speedometer on a car does not pre-suppose the purpose of a trip. A country may have such an objective, but the GDP does not.
