【TED演讲】全球幸福指数（6/9)
Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation's success by its productivity -- instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn't have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised.Hints:
OECD

It might be Latin American. And the challenge, really, is to pull the global average up here. That's what we need to do. And if we're going to do that, we need to pull countries from the bottom, and we need to pull countries from the right of the graph. And then we're starting to create a happy planet. That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is looking at time trends. We don't have good data going back for every country in the world, but for some of the richest countries, the OECD group, we do. And this is the trend in well-being over that time, a small increase, but this is the trend in ecological footprint. And so in strict happy-planet methodology, we've become less efficient at turning our ultimate scarce resource into the outcome we want to.这其中的挑战在于，也许还有我们可能要考虑到的是未来不一定属于北美和西欧，可能是拉美。而我们的挑战在于拉动全球的平均值。这才是我们该做的。如果我们未来这么做的话，就要把底层和图右方的国家拉上来。这样我们就能够创造一个幸福快乐的星球。这是一种办法。另一种看待这两个幸福地球理论的方式是按照历史的趋势。我们没有好的数据来回顾每个国家的历史，但是世界经贸组织中一些最富裕的国家，而这正是那个时代追求幸福的历史趋势，是一个小的进步。但这是生态脚印的趋势，所以从严格的快乐地球方法论的角度上看，我们在把稀有资源转化为我们想要产出上，效率变得更低了。
