行为经济学家最近有一个重大发现:以往人们认为,收入增长一定会导致快乐增加。但实证研究表明:收入对快乐的贡献不超过2%。相反,“有钱但不快乐”的情况比比皆是。这个结论将导致现代性的第二次危机。如果说发生在战争与革命年代的现代性第一次危机是“理性”危机,那么发生在和平与发展年代的现代性第二次危机将是“意义”危机。理性危机显示了工业化的逻辑局限性;意义危机将显示出工业化的历史局限性。正是从工业化的历史局限性中,产生了信息化的历史必然性。但以往对工业化局限性的认识并不到位。比如,人们经常会以为工业化的局限,在于它在赚钱方面或增加GDP方面,比信息化效率低。但最近国际社会的反思表明,对于“有钱”的微观经济崇拜,以及对GDP的宏观经济崇拜,可能恰恰是问题所在。
Behavioral economists recently made a major discovery: in the past people believed that income growth will certainly lead to happiness. However, empirical research shows that: the contribution of income to happiness does not exceed 2%. On the contrary, “rich but not happy” situation abound. This conclusion will lead to the second crisis of modernity. If the first crisis of modernity that took place during the war and the revolutionary years was a “rational” crisis, the second crisis of modernity that took place in the era of peace and development would be a crisis of “significance.” The crisis of logic shows the logical limitations of industrialization; the crisis of significance will show the historical limitations of industrialization. It is from the historical limitations of industrialization that the historical inevitability of informationization has arisen. But in the past the understanding of the limitations of industrialization is not in place. For example, people often think that the limitation of industrialization lies in the fact that it is less efficient than informatization in making money or increasing GDP. However, recent reflections by the international community show that the problem of “rich” worship of the micro-economy and macro-economic worship of GDP may be precisely the problem.
