基于真实进步指标对我国可持续发展的预警评估

随着可持续发展概念的提出，国内外学者对可持续发展指标体系做出了大量的研究。但是这些指标体系大多数并没有对短期内经济的高速增长是否会对可持续发展状态产生影响做出回答。针对我国近年来经济的高速增长。本文提出的一个新问题即是我国可持续发展的风险问题。选取衡量可持续发展的经济类指标——真实进步指标（GPI）刚对我国的可持续发展是否存在风险进行预警评估．通过计算我国1994—2005年间的GPI值。并将其与我国同期的GDP值进行比较。得出了我国的经济发展具有较好的可持续性的结果。以此为依据对我国可持续发展状况进行预警评估．提出了应继续提高居民收入，扩大基础设施投资。缓解城乡分配不均。进一步不断提高经济增长的质量。以提高我国的可持续发展能力。     

The World on a Collision Course and the Need for a New Economy

The first part of the paper is an attempt to demonstrate that what we are going through at the present time is not just an economic-financial crisis, but a crisis of humanity. It seems that for the first time in human history several crises converge to simultaneously reach their maximum level of tension. The dominant economic model is to a great degree responsible for the world’s collision course. Hence a number of myths that sustain the model are listed and analyzed. It is argued that a new economy, coherent with the problematiques of the twenty first century, needs urgently to be devised. The second part proposes the foundations for a new economy based on five fundamental postulates that allow the construction of transdisciplinary, holistic, and systemic visions to adequately understand the interdependence of all the elements that sustain life. It is stressed that it is no longer acceptable that Universities still teach economic theories of the nineteenth century in order to tackle twenty first century problems that have no precedence.
