Is There a Connection Between Economic Growth and Human Growth?

Growth measures tons of stuff that has nothing to do with human well being, like building lots of tear gases is good for g d p. I think my big cruxes with that are, wealth is not just a proxy for human flourishing in the sense that we will try to optimize wealth ind hope that human flourishing happens. How many resources can people put to work on getting what they want is just much, much better as a proxy forhuman florishing than anything else.
