It's so funny that outside the bien pensant/nomenklatura most people live their lives in an economy that can't really be measured. There's a wholesome anarchic quality to casual mutual aid and the nominally «black» market. Common pool resources and the self-governance of participants is another example. That can't really be measured either.

I prefer to treat statistical data as a cockroach to be smashed.

Mark Twain had it right: lies, damn lies, and statistics.
