That's why measure of GDP is stupid. It counts every transaction. If you do your own lawn, cooked your own food, then you don't contribute to GDP. But if you hire someone else to do that, then you increase GDP.

Self sufficient communities are bad for the GDP. That's how they define "developed" country, because you have to pay everyone for everything
