Needs are limited, but not greed. Science has developed no cure for envy, so our wealth boosts our happiness only briefly while shrinking that of our neighbors. Thus the outlook for the future is gloomy in Easterlin’s view. "The future, then, to which the epoch of modern economic growth is leading, is one of never ending economic growth, a world in which ever growing abundance is matched by ever rising aspirations, a world in which cultural difference is leveled in the constant race to achieve the good life of material plenty, a world which is founded on belief in science and the power of rational inquiry and in the ultimate capacity of humanity to shape its own destiny. The irony is that in this last respect the lesson of history appears to be otherwise: that there is no choice. In the end, the triumph of economic growth is not a triumph of humanity over material wants; rather, it is the triumph of material wants over humanity."
选项
答案
需求是有极限的,而贪欲却永无止境。科学再进步也尚未研制出治疗嫉妒的良药,因此只有当我们的财富让邻居相形见绌的时候,我们才会感到片刻的幸福。所以在伊斯特林看来,未来的前景不容乐观:“当今经济发展的趋势告诉我们,未来经济会不断发展、永不停歇,未来世界会是一个财富不断增长而欲望节节上升的世界;一个为达到富裕不断角逐而导致文化差异尽失的世界:一个建立在信仰科学和理性探索的基础之上并相信人类最终有能力塑造自己命运的世界。具有讽刺意味的是,在最后一点上,历史的经验教训似乎告诉我们,事物的发展并非如此:人类别无选择,并不能掌握自己的命运。最后,经济发展的结果不是人性战胜物欲,而是物欲战胜人性。”
