While many economists judge Germany’s strategy the worst and America’s the best, the Scandinavian strategy can be considered a second-best strategy. Indeed, it is better to let people clean public parks, nurse children, and take care of the old in government facilities than have them do nothing, as in Germany.
许多经济学家认为德国的策略最差而美国的最好，斯堪的那维亚国家的战略可以被认为是次佳策略。确实，让人们打扫公园、照看儿童或者在政府单位照顾老人总要比无所事事要强，就像德国一样。即使是DGP被人为地抬高了，还是做了某些有用的活动。
