@RobsPierre90 Die Datensammlung selbst - ich spreche vom Bereich sozialer und ökonomischer Phänomene - ist politisch und sozial konstruiert. Was wird quantifiziert und aus welchen Gründen? Was macht das sichtbar, was nicht? Vgl. Daniel Mügge (2022) https:/

Nice paper. To this day many country-level national productivity measures count public productivity as unchanging year after year by taking outputs to equal inputs, and then dividing by inputs. Or just exclude the public sector altogether.

@TimoneyKevin I think our statisticians do a brilliant job on limited resources! It is not their fault that our concepts, measures and indicators of economic activity have not kept apace with the reality of global capital and finance. https://t.co/ECFwK

I feel like this encapsulates a lot of what I have been saying about the difference between economists and political economists. We can't rely on economics statistics alone because frankly they miss a lot.
