    GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the headline metric.

    There must be many books on this subject, Iā€™m pretty sure I learned that in one of my intro level college Economics classes (Econ minor)

    I would pull out a macroeconomics and and microeconomics book from the library and study up. Maybe grab a Udemy course on Econ as well.

    id say this[4] is a fair account, despite the economist's known unfriendliness towards greece.

    The question you are asking is almost "what is economics?"
