Growth rate in December quarter compared with 1965
The text argues that growth measures for the December quarter are misleading if viewed year over year. It notes that the annual comparison hides the quarter’s real pace, as revisions and seasonal adjustments alter figures. The passage cites adjusted GNP data and stresses focus on the latest quarter’s performance rather than long-run averages.

The expansion is driven mainly by the farming sector, while overall growth remains uneven, and inflation in consumer spending remains limited by sectoral shifts and volatile farm production.
