When running for president in 1968, Robert Kennedy took aim at US economic statistics. Gross national product, he said, counted pollution, cigarette advertising, locks on doors and the destruction of forests among a long list of social evils. It failed to measure important things in society such as the joy of poetry or the strength of marriages. “It measures everything . . . except that which makes life worthwhile and it can tell everything about America except why we are proud we are Americans,” he said.
罗伯特•肯尼迪(Robert Kennedy) 1968年竞选美国总统时,把矛头对准了美国manbetx20客户端下载 数据。他说,国内生产总值(GDP)计入了污染、香烟广告、门锁和破坏森林等一系列社会罪恶,却没有计入社会中那些重要的事情,比如诗歌的优美或婚姻的稳固。肯尼迪说:“它衡量了一切……除了那些让生活值得过的东西;它能告诉我们有关美国的一切,除了我们为何要为自己是美国人而骄傲。”
