And so do people who keep on using them in isolation. Take the 4.79% average GDP growth rate of Sithanen from July 2005 till December 2008 for example. What does that number mean? Nothing much besides the fact that the national pie got bigger by that amount on average. It doesn't say a single word about how that pie has been divided.
For instance, both graphics above have an average growth rate of 4.79% but the distribution, unless you're wearing Bretton-Woods goggles, is not exactly the same. We know for sure we didn't get equally-distributed growth because otherwise Ramgoolam would have presented a candidate in the last bye-election. We also have additional clues that's telling us that the growth while benefiting only a few people has sent a majority of the population into an 'L-shape' type of recession since July 2006: a very robust average inflation rate of 8.53%, elimination of a progressive tax structure, FDI flows in speculative real-estate projects and depreciation of the rupee to name just a few.
And now more and more people are taking to the streets to say no to Sithanen.
