在许多人看来,判断整体经济形 势好坏冷暖的决定性指标是GDP的增 长率,其他指标不过是GDP的陪衬,都 是为GDP服务的。每当GDP达到或接 近8％,他们就把形势看得好得不得了, 一片风景这边独好的赞歌。每当GDP在 7％左右波动,就慌得六神无主。一个发 展中的大国,在一个百分点内的升降, 是不是统计误差都很难说清楚,竟能如 此刺激人们的神经,可见GDP的拜物 教危害之深。 For many people, the decisive indicator of how well the economy is judged as a whole is the rate of GDP growth. The other indicators are nothing more than a proxy for GDP and serve GDP. Whenever GDP reaches or approaches 8%, they see the situation as such, a hymn that is unique here. Whenever GDP fluctuates around 7%, it is scared to be livid. It is hard to say clearly whether a statistical error in statistical statistics of a large developing country that has gone up and down within a single percentage point can actually stimulate people’s nerves. This shows that the fetishism of GDP is far harmed.
