Kirsti's Reviews > GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History

Clear and sometimes very funny explanation of what GDP is, how it differs from GNP, how it was invented, why it matters, and how it has changed and may continued to change. In short, Coyle says gross domestic product is a flawed but useful way to compare different countries' economies over time. The author does a fine job reading the material, but she recorded this at home because of the pandemic, so there's a slight hiss that may bother you at first.
