In 1930, when the world was "suffering from a bad attack of economic pessimism" , John May-nard Keynes wrote a broadly optimistic essay, "Economic Possibilities for our Grand-children". It imagined a middle way between revolution and stagnation that would leave the grandchildren a great deal richer than their grandparents. But the path was not without dangers.
One of the worries Keynes admitted was a "new disease" : "technological unemployment due to our discovery of means of economising the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour. " His readers might not have heard of the problem, he suggested—but they were certain to hear a lot more about it in the years to come.
For the most part, they did not. Nowadays, the majority of economists confidently wave such worries away. By raising productivity, they argue, any automation which economises on the use of labour will increase incomes. That will generate demand for new products and services, which will in turn create new jobs for displaced workers. To think otherwise has meant being tarred a Luddite— the name taken by 19th-century textile workers who smashed the machines taking their jobs.
For much of the 20th century, those arguing that technology brought ever more jobs and prosperity looked to have the better of the debate. Real incomes in Britain scarcely doubled between the beginning of the common era and 1570. They then tripled from 1570 to 1875. And they more than tripled from 1875 to 1975. Industrialisation did not end up eliminating the need for human workers. On the contrary, it created employment opportunities sufficient to absorb the 20th century’s exploding population. Keynes’ vision of everyone in the 2030s being a lot richer is largely achieved. His belief they would work just 15 hours or so a week has not come to pass.
According to Maynard Keynes, which one of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、Economic stagnation will last for a long period.
B、Economic depression may seem not so pessimistic.
C、Economic possibilities may be bright for our grandchildren.
D、Our grandchildren may be much more affluent than their forefathers.
答案
A
解析
根据大写词Maynard Keynes定位到第一段。选项[A]的内容文章并没有提到,属于无中生有。选项[B]则对应第一句:In 1930,when the world was“suffering from a bad attackof economic pessimism”,John Maynard Keynes wrote a broadly optimistic essay…该项的not sopessimistic对应原文中的broadly optimistic,属于正话反说,故选项[B]正确。选项[C]和[D]对应倒数第二句:It imagined a middle way between revolution and stagnation that would leave thegrandchildren a great deal richer than their grandparents.[C]和[D]两项的“bright前景光明”和“affluent富裕的”与其中的“a great deal richer更加富裕”信息相匹配,故这两项表述都正确。综上所述,该题答案为选项[A]。
