Evaluating Economic Policy Goals
A common political argument states that the primary goal of economic policy should be to maximize the output of goods and services from firms, as this is the best measure of a nation's progress and well-being. Based on a model where the economy is a system embedded within a larger physical and biological environment, and where households also play a productive role, critically evaluate this argument. Discuss at least two significant aspects that this narrow focus on firm production might overlook or undervalue.
