No, not by a long shot. But neither can any country’s economic data. For economic performance metrics are merely derivatives, numeral consequences not reverting to cause. As a final score in soccer as a consequence is NO indication of gameplay as its cause.
And with that, I have swept the floor of the fundamental fallacy and depravity of reason innate to our current religion of economics. A religion not at all a reliable indicator of the causal performance of humanity.
