This month, I will ask UN ambassadors how they would spend $50 billion to reduce suffering. They will repeat the same exercise that some of the world’s best economists tackled in a 2004 project called the “Copenhagen Consensus”: weighing up solutions to the great challenges facing the world, and deciding what should be done first.
本月，我将询问驻联合国的大使们如何花费500亿美元来减少人类的痛苦。他们将会重复当今某些最好的经济学家在2004年的一个被称为“哥本哈根共识”项目所作出的答案，那就是对世界面临的重大挑战作出评估，然后决定哪些事情应当优先处理。
