| '''[[Gross Domestic Product]]''' ('''GDP''') is a total of the outputs recorded in a country’s [[national income accounts]]. It is the best-known of such totals, and estimates of its growth rate are widely used as indicators of the prospects of inflation or unemployment. GDP ''per capita'' (that is, divided by total population) is the most frequently used measure of a country's or region's level of economic development. For alternative measures, see [[Human Development Index]].
| | {{CZ:Featured article/Current}} |
| | |
| Gross domestic product is the principal summary statistic of [[national income accounts]]. The current practice of national income accounting was developed during the Second World War by Richard Stone and James Meade at the instigation of John Maynard Keynes while they were working as civil servants in the British Cabinet Office. In his 1984 Nobel prize lecture, Richard Stone ascribes the origins of the concept to essays by William Petty in 1664 and Richard Gordon in 1802, and reproduces their estimates for the English economies of their times.

He won the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for reaching a peace that ended the [[Vietnam War]]. In close collaboration with Nixon, he created a détente policy that called for an end to the [[Cold War]] and for friendly relations with both the [[Soviet Union]] and [[China]].
