GDP is a way to calculate the economy or cash a country has, yet nowadays money is not something many focus on. The new generation has come to realize that many things are more important than money. Though the United States has the largest GDP, Sweden has been titled the "Happiest Country". There are many things other than money that can be measured, things that people might find more important. People no longer want to measure things by the money one might make. Because our world doesn't have to revolve around money, if we could focus on other things then we might become less self-centered and less greedy, as income portrays selfishness and greediness.
