Instead of measuring GDP as our metric, measure how much basic income can be generated without causing inflation. Rising basic income levels with stable GDP and stable prices (or even falling) is utopia.
Agreeable, in theory at least. The fact is, though, when one person gains, someone else loses out, in this case, biz owners. Corporate execs aren't going to raise wages and keep prices the same, not unless they have some means to compensate for it (Hello, McDonalds!)
