问答题 在参议员罗伯特·肯尼迪1968年竞选总统时的一篇演讲中。他对GDP讲了以下一段话：
   (GDP)并没有考虑到我们孩子的健康、他们的教育质量或者他们游戏的快乐。它没有包括我们的诗歌之美或者婚姻的稳定，没有包括我们关于公共问题争论的智慧或者我们公务员的廉洁。它既没有衡量出我们的勇气，我们的智慧，也没有衡量出我们对祖国的热爱。简言之，它衡量一切，但并不包括使我们的生活有意义的东西，它可以告诉我们有关美国人的一切，但没有告诉我们，为什么我们以作为美国人而骄傲。
   罗伯特·肯尼迪的话对吗?如果对的话，我们为什么要关注GDP?
   In a speech that Senator Robert Kennedy gave when he was running for president in 1968, he said the following about GDP:
   It does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our courage, nor our wisdom, nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile, and it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.
   Was Robert Kennedy right? If so, why do we care about GDP?
