otherwise, all we get is traditional goods leaving GDP (e.g. landline phone calls) as they're replaced by higher quality things that we value more but which don't appear in GDP because of having a zero price (e.g. free WhatsApp video calls).

Working with Erik has been one of the best decisions of my young career. He's a top-notch role model. In an age where certain types of expertise are plentiful, having the chance to learn from someone who consistently skates to where the puck is going has been really valuable. Highly recommend!!!
