There are many examples of the absurdity of GDP and 'growth' - one of my favourites is Varoufakis seeing planes flying to quell a forest fire in Greece and seeing that the forest contributes more to GDP by burning down than by just living.
And the usual argument of apologists for capitalism - that investment 'creates jobs and boosts the local economy' might just as easily be applied to the arsonist buying matches.
