Of course not. This thing is five years old Now everyone’s got one of these 當然沒有，這都五年前的舊貨了。現在人手一隻這個1
Can you imagine how much genius and focus it took to turn a music player
into a handheld computer/phone/GPS/remote control for everything in life in
just five years? 很難想像要多少創意和心力，才能讓隨身聽進化成手機，具有電腦、gps、遙控等各種功能，生活一切都靠他，而且才花了短短五年。
Seriously. The thousands of people who made this thing had to solve thousands of problems
that literally could NOT have been solved five years ago. 沒錯，這項科技背後，無數研發人員必須解決各種難題。
而這些難題在五年前幾乎不可能解決。
That's what people can do when they're motivated to find solutions to problems.
只要有動力去做，人就是可以找出解決問題的方法。
But the problems we've been busy solving are not the problems that most
need solving. 但是我們費盡心力解決的問題，並不是真正需要解決的問題
So much focuses has gone into faster, cheaper, newer, that we've actually
lost ground on things like safer, healthier and more fair.
我們投注太多心力追求更快、更新、更便宜，卻忽略了要更安全、更健康、更公平2。
It’s as if we’re getting better and better at playing the wrong game.
這就是玩遊戲時努力晉級，卻沒想過遊戲本身有問題。
And in many ways, this system is a lot like a game, but with very high
stakes. 現在的經濟系統很像一場遊戲，只是風險很高。
Just like a game, our economy was designed by people to get everyone to
play by certain rules. And like a game, it comes with instructions telling
us what the goal is. 就像玩遊戲，現在的經濟系統是由某些人設計特定遊戲原則，讓每個人都得一起玩。
也像遊戲一樣，經濟系統的規則決定了大家的目標是什麼。
Think about the last time you played a new game. 回想一下你最近玩過的新遊戲吧。
Remember? The first thing you did was find out what it means to win and
that guides every decision you make along the way. 記得嗎？你做的第一件事，一定是搞清楚什麼叫做贏，
這會引導你在遊戲當中所有的決定。
So, naturally, the solutions most people are working on pursue this game’s
simple goal — and that goal is more. 正因為這樣，大部分人想出來的解決方案，都在追求這場經濟遊戲的單一目標，
那個目標就是更多。
More money being spent, more roads being built, more malls being opened,
more stuff! 花更多錢、蓋更多路、開更多購物商場，買更多東西。
That’s what economists call growth 這就是經濟學家說的「成長」3。
So we take all the money spent on stuff that makes life better and all the
money spent on stuff that makes life worse and we add it together into one
big number, called GDP. 我們把提高生活品質所花的金額，還有導致生活惡化所花的金額，相加得到的總和稱為GDP。7
We’re told that a bigger GDP means we’re winning! So it’s the number that
thousands of rules and laws are designed to increase.
他們說GDP越高的人就是贏家8，因此許多規則和法條都設計成有助於提高GDP
But there’s a big difference between more kids in school and more kids in
jail. More windmills or more coal fired power plants. More super-efficient
public trains or more gas wasted in traffic jams. Duh. But in this game of
more, they are counted the same. 但是不能混為一談的是，到底是有更多小孩受教育，還是有更多小孩進監獄？4
有更多風力發電機，還是更多燃煤發電廠？更多高效率的大眾運輸，還是更多浪費汽油的大塞車？5差很大耶！
但在這個追求更多的遊戲裡，好壞都算成一樣。6
Now we can’t just change a game this dumb one rule, or one player, at a time.
The problem is the goal itself! We need solutions that change that. 要改變遊戲，不能靠著逐一淘汰規則或玩家，
問題出在遊戲的目標。我們需要能夠改變遊戲目標的解決方案。
