Question: According to former Vice President AI Gore, "Classical economics defines productivity narrowly and encourages us to equate gains in productivity with economic progress. But the Holy Grail of progress is so alluring that economists tend to overlook the bad aide effects that often accompany improvements" [Miller, 1997, p. A22).
