The problem with 'productivity' measurement is output is based on 'sale price'

* Sell, 1,000,000 lottery tickets (or CDOs or Carcinogenic products) -- Boom, you are productive.

* Cure Cancer (or Linux or Wikipedia or an ad-free Educational YouTube Channel) and open source it for free -- Nah, not productive.

As we digitize, more things will be free and yet valuable and these things won't show up as productivity.

It's time to come up with better measurements of productivity
