Re-balancing the economy from gas-guzzling to energy-saving – and from private to public consumption – is bound to alter the goal of economic policy. Maximizing GDP growth will no longer be the top priority; rather, it should be something we might want to call “happiness,” or “well-being,” or the “good life.”
将经济从高耗能型调整到节能型——从个体到公共消费——必然会改变经济政策的目的。GDP增长最大化将不再会是最重要的；相反，最重要的应该是我们想要叫做“幸福”、“康乐”或“美好生活”的事物。
