Abstract: Gross domestic product (GDP) is often an important indicator for comparing the comparative strength of states. However, this interpretation is not always relevant, in particular because of technical difficulties concerning intertemporal and international comparisons of the countries concerned, but also because of other factors that are not emphasized. Moreover, it is an aggregate that is increasingly contested in terms of its content and use, which the new production methods required to combat global warming and other pollution can no longer accept. There are positive goods and services capable of creating added value without producing negative effects, and goods and services that are produced only to repair the nuisances of polluting production systems. In this case, the estimation of the real wealth created must take into account the damage of the production process.
