“The essence of wealth is the capacity to control the forces of nature, and the extent of wealth depends upon the level of technology and the ability to create new knowledge.”
财富的本质是控制自然的力量,财富的范围依赖于科技的水平和创造新知识的能力。
Having a little inflation is like being a little pregnant--inflation feeds on itself and quickly passes the "little" mark.
有稍许的通货膨胀就像一点点被孕育,通货膨胀通过自身滋长,并超越“小”的标记。
GDP并没有考虑到我们孩子的健康,他们教育的质量,或者他们游戏的快乐。它也没有包括我们的诗歌之美和婚姻的稳定,关于公共问题争论的智慧和我们公务员的廉正。它既没有衡量我们的勇气智慧,也没有衡量我们对祖国的热爱。简言之,它衡量了一切,但并不包括使我们生活有意思的东西,它可以告诉我们关于美国人的一切,但没有告诉我们为什么我们以作为一个美国人而自豪。
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".”
纵贯历史,贫穷是人类的常态。进步允许这种常态被跨越,在这或那,这种进步时不时的是一部分相当小的少数人的成果,然而他们经常被看不起,被责难,并且几乎总是被所有正确思考的人们所反对。无论何时这微小的少数人被阻止去创造,或者被驱逐出一个团体,人们然后重新陷入糟糕的贫穷。这作为“外运气”被知道。
