"Social product"[edit]

Fifelfoo, can you define the term "social product" that you're using in this article? As far as I'm aware the term is specific to some sub-disciplines within the Social Sciences (or even to sub-disciplines within Political Science) and is quite antiquated. Basically it is a fuzzy (or perhaps, "non-precise") reference to the concept of GDP (or GNI) that comes from a time before there were such things as GDP measurment.

As such - if that is indeed the way you mean by the term - I think that while it's okay to make use of the term once or twice, a consistent usage of modern terminology would be better.radek (talk) 23:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proportions of GDP[edit]

I changed the examples in this section to ones which were more relevant to the heading. I also changed "proportions" to "shares" as in my experience that is a more standard terminology.radek (talk) 00:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
