What is so good about growth if proceeds only go to the people who already have capital?

Right. It is high time that percentage change in GDP is not the sole consideration when measuring growth. While GDP will always be important, measures like Gini and HDI (or others which measure overall human "happiness") be taken into account when judging if a country is prosperous.
Now there's a solid question. Seriously.
