Q: what does gross domestic product measure?
A: GDP is a monetary measure of the market values of all the final goods and services produced in a period of time, often annually or quarterly. They’re commonly used to determine the economic performance of a whole country or region, and to make international comparisons.
With the establishment of trade towns such as Savannah, the Georgia Colony was able to use the natural resources and raw materials available to develop trade in crops, such as, tobacco, cotton, rice, indigo, lumber, furs, fish, pottery, sugar and farm products.
Mainly these were products of slave plantations. The colonists did not like the Mercantilism system as it is a system designed to benefit mainly the country that has established the colones. it was designed to benefit their home country, Great Britain, in that the colonies were to provide the raw materials, then shipping them to Britain to make finished products and them having to buy the finished products.
To enforce mercantilism in the colonies, the British passed a series of laws restricting what the colonist could do, such as requiring the colonist to only transport goods using British ships. In time, the colonist rejected this, and resorted to smuggling from other countries. When the British began to crack down on smuggling, the colonists naturally resisted.

News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works, Paul H. Weaver (The Free Press, 1994).
Who Stole the News?: Why We Can’t Keep Up with What Happens in the World, Mort Rosenblum (John Wiley & Sons, 1993).
Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact in America, Cynthia Crossen (Simon & Schuster, 1994).
The U.S. press, like the U.S. government, is a corrupt and troubled institution. Corrupt not so much in the sense that it accepts bribes but in a systemic sense. It fails to do what it claims to do, what it should do, and what society expects it to do.
The news media and the government are entwined in a vicious circle of mutual manipulation, mythmaking, and self-interest. Journalists need crises to dramatize news, and government officials need to appear to be responding to crises. Too often, the crises are not really crises but joint fabrications. The two institutions have become so ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that the news media are unable to tell the public what is true and the government is unable to govern effectively. That is the thesis advanced by Paul H. Weaver, a former political scientist (at Harvard University), journalist (at Fortune magazine), and corporate communications executive (at Ford Motor Company), in his provocative analysis entitled News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works.
