If money doesn't buy happiness why do we judge the success of nations by their GDPs?

And why do we measure liberty by the ability to amass wealth rather than by measuring the things someone can do without it?

Because more money generally means more freedom and health.
I do disagree with judging a country by its overall GDP. It should go by GDP per capita. That's a way better metric of living standards.
