GDP in Economics, Geography, and Political Science

The idea
Economics defines GDP at 1306 and sorts its distractors at 1312. Geography's 1037 uses GDP, GNI, PPP and the HDI to rank development. Political science's 0840 uses the same figures in the political economy of the postwar order. Sample question seven asks for the economist's definition, not the geographer's ranking.
In practice
Definition, then use.
Where people slip
Per capita divides; PPP adjusts.
