ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Cameron - Politician
David Cameron is the prime minister of the UK and the leader of the UK's Conservative Party.

Why you should listen

David Cameron became the prime minster of the United Kingdom in May 2010, leading a coalition government (the UK's first since World War II). He was elected leader of the Conservative Party in December 2005, and has been a Member of Parliament for the Witney constituency since 2001. Before he became an MP, he was a Special Adviser  to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then to the Home Secretary. He took a break to work in media for seven years, then stood for election in 2001 on an agenda of tax-cutting. (During the election, he also wrote a column for the Guardian.) As a new MP, he took several controversial positions, such as coming out in favor of the "harm reduction" drug policy. He became a member of the shadow cabinet (an alternative cabinet to the party in power) in 2003, and two years later became head of the party.

Someone有人 once一旦 said that politics政治 is, of course課程, "showbiz演藝圈 for ugly醜陋 people."
0
1000
5000
有人曾經說過,“政治是醜人的演藝圈。”
00:21
So, on that basis基礎, I feel like I've really arrived到達.
1
6000
3000
所以,基於這樣的論調,我是來對地方了。
00:25
The other thing to think of is what an honor榮譽 it is, as a politician政治家,
2
10000
3000
另一種説法是,這是一個政治家無上的光榮。
00:28
to give a TEDTED talk, particularly尤其 here in the U.K.,
3
13000
3000
來TED演講,特別是在這裡(英國),
00:31
where the reputation聲譽 of politics政治, with the expenses花費 scandal醜聞, has sunk沉沒 so low.
4
16000
6000
因爲最近的醜聞,使政治的聲譽跌倒了新低點
00:37
There was even a story故事 recently最近 that scientists科學家們 had thought about
5
22000
4000
最近甚至有一個故事說,科學家們想要
00:41
actually其實 replacing更換 rats大鼠 in their experiments實驗 with politicians政治家.
6
26000
5000
用政治家來代替實驗室的老鼠
00:46
And someone有人 asked,"Why?"
7
31000
2000
有人問,為什麽?
00:48
and they said, "Well, there's no shortage短缺 of politicians政治家,
8
33000
4000
回答說,現在政治家太多了
00:52
no one really minds頭腦 what happens發生 to them
9
37000
3000
沒有人會介意少幾個
00:55
and, after all, there are some things that rats大鼠 just won't慣於 do."
10
40000
3000
此外,有些賤事,老鼠還做不出來哩。
00:58
(Laughter笑聲)
11
43000
2000
(笑聲)
01:00
Now, I know you all love data數據, so I'm starting開始 with a data-rich數據豐富 slide滑動.
12
45000
4000
好,我知道大家都喜歡數據,所以我就用這張投影片作開場
01:04
This, I think, is the most important重要 fact事實 to bear in mind心神
13
49000
3000
在英國或美國的政治裏
01:07
in British英國的 politics政治 or American美國 politics政治,
14
52000
4000
最重要,要記在心裏的事是
01:11
and that is: We have run out of money.
15
56000
2000
那就是,我們的錢都花光了。
01:13
We have vast廣大 budget預算 deficits赤字.
16
58000
3000
我們有很大的預算赤字
01:16
This is my global全球 public上市 debt債務 clock時鐘,
17
61000
3000
這是我的全球政府支出赤字統計鐘
01:19
and, as you can see, it's 32 trillion and counting數數.
18
64000
4000
你可以看得到,現在是32兆,持續增加中。
01:23
And I think what this leads引線 to
19
68000
2000
所以我想
01:25
is a very simple簡單 recognition承認,
20
70000
3000
這帶到一個很簡單的認知
01:28
that there's one question in politics政治 at the moment時刻 above以上 all other,
21
73000
3000
在現在的政治上最迫切的問題是:
01:31
and it's this one: How do we make things better without spending開支 more money?
22
76000
5000
我們如何能用更少的錢而做得更好?
01:36
Because there isn't going to be a lot of money to improve提高 public上市 services服務,
23
81000
4000
因爲不會有足夠的錢來改善公共服務
01:40
or to improve提高 government政府, or to improve提高 so many許多 of the things
24
85000
3000
來改善政府,
01:43
that politicians政治家 talk about.
25
88000
2000
或來改善政客們掛在嘴上的這些事。
01:45
So what follows如下 from that is that if you think it's all about money --
26
90000
6000
所以如果你還是一直認爲這是有關金錢
01:51
you can only measure測量 success成功 in public上市 services服務
27
96000
3000
成功就是花更多的錢在公共服務、
01:54
in health健康 care關心 and education教育 and policing治安 by spending開支 more money,
28
99000
4000
在健保、教育、公共政策上,
01:58
you can only measure測量 progress進展 by spending開支 money --
29
103000
3000
如果你以爲花更多的錢就是進步
02:01
you're going to have a pretty漂亮 miserable time.
30
106000
3000
那你將來的日子會不太好過。
02:04
But if you think a whole整個 lot of other things matter that lead up to well being存在 --
31
109000
4000
但是如果你把其他一些事也考慮進來
02:08
things like your family家庭 relationships關係, friendship友誼, community社區, values --
32
113000
3000
像是家庭關係、友情、社區、價值,
02:11
then, actually其實, this is an incredibly令人難以置信 exciting扣人心弦 time to be in politics政治.
33
116000
5000
那麽,這是一個令人興奮的從政時期。
02:16
And the really simple簡單 argument論據 I want to make tonight今晚,
34
121000
2000
我今晚想討論的簡單的論點
02:18
the really straightforward直截了當 argument論據 is this:
35
123000
2000
一個十分直接的論點是
02:20
That if we combine結合 the right political政治 philosophy哲學, the right political政治 thinking思維,
36
125000
6000
如果我們能結合正確的政治哲學、思想
02:26
with the incredible難以置信 information信息 revolution革命 that has taken採取 place地點,
37
131000
4000
在加上近來發生的資訊革命
02:30
and that all of you know so much more about than I do,
38
135000
4000
和一些我不知道但你們專長的事
02:34
I think there's an incredible難以置信 opportunity機會 to actually其實 remake翻拍 politics政治,
39
139000
4000
我認爲現在是再造政治
02:38
remake翻拍 government政府, remake翻拍 public上市 services服務,
40
143000
3000
再造政府、再造公共服務的時候
02:41
and achieve實現 what's up on that slide滑動, which哪一個 is a big increase增加 in our well-being福利.
41
146000
5000
並達到像那張投影片上,全民福祉的大增進。
02:46
That's the argument論據 I want to make tonight今晚.
42
151000
3000
這就是我今晚想說的論點。
02:49
So, starting開始 with the political政治 philosophy哲學.
43
154000
3000
那麽,從政治哲學開始說起
02:52
Now I'm not saying for a minute分鐘 that British英國的 Conservatives保守黨 have all the answers答案.
44
157000
3000
我並不是說英國保守黨,對所有問題都有解答
02:55
Of course課程 we don't.
45
160000
2000
我們當然沒有
02:57
But there are two things at heart that I think drive駕駛 a conservative保守 philosophy哲學
46
162000
5000
但是在保守黨的哲學裏,有兩件事,
03:02
that are really relevant相應 to this whole整個 debate辯論.
47
167000
2000
是跟這個議題密切相關的
03:04
The first is this: We believe that if you give people
48
169000
2000
第一個,我們相信,如果你給人們
03:06
more power功率 and control控制 over their lives生活,
49
171000
3000
更多的權力去掌握他們的生命,
03:09
if you give people more choice選擇,
50
174000
2000
如果你給他們更多的選擇
03:11
if you put them in the driving主動 seat座位,
51
176000
2000
如果你讓他們掌握自己的方向
03:13
then actually其實, you can create創建 a stronger and better society社會.
52
178000
3000
那麽,你就能創造更好更壯的社會。
03:16
And if you marry結婚 this fact事實 with the incredible難以置信 abundance豐富
53
181000
4000
如果你把這件事情跟
03:20
of information信息 that we have in our world世界 today今天,
54
185000
2000
現今世界裏十分充裕的資訊相結合
03:22
I think you can completely全然, as I've said,
55
187000
2000
我認爲,誠如我所說的
03:24
remake翻拍 politics政治, remake翻拍 government政府, remake翻拍 your public上市 services服務.
56
189000
5000
我們能全面地重造政治、政府、和公共服務。
03:29
The second第二 thing we believe is we believe in going with the grain糧食 of human人的 nature性質.
57
194000
4000
第二件事,我們相信要順從人性
03:33
Politics政治 and politicians政治家 will only succeed成功
58
198000
3000
政治和政治家要成功則必須
03:36
if they actually其實 try and treat對待 with people as they are,
59
201000
5000
尊重人們, 讓他們做自己
03:41
rather than as they would like them to be.
60
206000
3000
而不是去告訴人們該怎麽做
03:44
Now, if you combine結合 this very simple簡單, very conservative保守 thought --
61
209000
3000
現在,如果你將這個很簡單的保守想法
03:47
go with the grain糧食 of human人的 nature性質 --
62
212000
2000
-- 順從人性 --
03:49
with all the advances進步 in behavioral行為的 economics經濟學,
63
214000
3000
跟行爲經濟學上的發展相結合的話
03:52
some of which哪一個 we were just hearing聽力 about,
64
217000
2000
就是我們最近剛剛聽到的這些
03:54
again, I think we can achieve實現 a real真實 increase增加 in well-being福利,
65
219000
3000
那麽,我想我們真的可以在全體福祉上有進步
03:57
in happiness幸福, in a stronger society社會
66
222000
3000
在更強健的社會裏有更多的快樂
04:00
without necessarily一定 having to spend a whole整個 lot more money.
67
225000
4000
而不需要花一大堆的錢。
04:04
Now, why do I think now is the moment時刻 to make this argument論據?
68
229000
4000
爲什麽我會覺得現在是提這個論點的時候?
04:08
Well, I'm afraid害怕 you're going to suffer遭受 a short, condensed冷凝 history歷史 lesson
69
233000
4000
很抱歉我要跟你們上一段濃縮的歷史課
04:12
about what I would say are the three passages通道 of history歷史:
70
237000
3000
我要提三段歷史的過渡期,
04:15
the pre-bureaucratic前官僚 age年齡, the bureaucratic官僚主義 age年齡
71
240000
4000
前官僚體系期、官僚體系期、
04:19
and what we now live生活 in, which哪一個 I think is a post-bureaucratic後官僚 age年齡.
72
244000
3000
還有我們現在的時代,後官僚體系期。
04:22
A simpler簡單 way of thinking思維 of it
73
247000
2000
簡單地來看就是説
04:24
is that we have gone走了 from a world世界 of local本地 control控制,
74
249000
4000
我們從一個地方管制的世界
04:28
then we went to a world世界 of central中央 control控制,
75
253000
3000
進入到一個中央管制的世界
04:31
and now we're in a world世界 of people control控制.
76
256000
2000
現在我們是在一個人民管制的世界
04:33
Local本地 power功率, central中央 power功率, now, people power功率.
77
258000
3000
地方政權、中央政權、到現在,人民政權
04:36
Now, here is King國王 Cnut克努特, king國王 a thousand years年份 ago.
78
261000
4000
這是克努特國王,是一千年前的一個王
04:40
Thought he could turn back the waves波浪; couldn't不能 turn back the waves波浪.
79
265000
3000
以爲他可以駕馭波浪。事實上不行的
04:43
Couldn't不能 actually其實 turn back very much,
80
268000
2000
不太可能駕馭波浪
04:45
because if you were king國王 a thousand years年份 ago,
81
270000
2000
因爲,你要是一千年前的國王
04:47
while it still took hours小時 and hours小時 and weeks and weeks to traverse橫過 your own擁有 country國家,
82
272000
5000
光穿越你的領地就要很長的時間
04:52
there wasn't much you were in charge收費 of.
83
277000
2000
你能管理的事實上並不多
04:54
You weren't in charge收費 of policing治安, justice正義, education教育, health健康, welfare福利.
84
279000
3000
治安、司法、教育、國民健康、社會福利你都管不到的
04:57
You could just about go to war戰爭 and that was about it.
85
282000
4000
你大概只能發動一些戰爭而已吧
05:01
This was the pre-bureaucratic前官僚 age年齡,
86
286000
2000
這是前官僚體系期
05:03
an age年齡 in which哪一個 everything had to be local本地.
87
288000
4000
在這時期所有的事都是地方處理的
05:07
You had to have local本地 control控制 because there was no nationally-available國內可用 information信息
88
292000
5000
因爲沒有全國性的資訊系統,所以所有的事物都是地方管理
05:12
because travel旅行 was so restricted限制.
89
297000
2000
因爲旅行是十分有限的。
05:14
So this was the pre-bureaucratic前官僚 age年齡.
90
299000
2000
所以這是前官僚體系期。
05:16
Next下一個 part部分 of the cold history歷史 lesson,
91
301000
2000
冷歷史課的下一部份
05:18
the lovely可愛 picture圖片 of the British英國的 Industrial產業 Revolution革命.
92
303000
3000
可愛的英國工業革命的相片
05:21
Suddenly突然, all sorts排序 of transport運輸, travel旅行 information信息 were possible可能,
93
306000
4000
突然間,所有的交通、旅遊、資訊都變得可能了
05:25
and this gave birth分娩 to, what I like to call, the bureaucratic官僚主義 age年齡.
94
310000
4000
這就產生了我所謂的,官僚體系期。
05:29
And hopefully希望 this slide滑動 is going to morph變形 beautifully精美. There we are.
95
314000
3000
希望這張投影片能解釋得清楚,像這裡
05:32
Suddenly突然, you have the big, strong強大, central中央 state.
96
317000
4000
突然間,有了一個龐大、有力的中央政府
05:36
It was able能夠 -- but only it was able能夠 -- to organize組織
97
321000
4000
但這已成爲過去式了
05:40
health健康 care關心, education教育, policing治安, justice正義.
98
325000
3000
來統籌健保、教育、治安、司法
05:43
And it was a world世界 of, as I say, not local本地 power功率, but now central中央 power功率.
99
328000
5000
所以我說這不再是地方, 而是中央集權
05:48
It had sucked all that power功率 up from the localities地方.
100
333000
3000
中央把所有地方的權力集中起來
05:51
It was able能夠 to do that itself本身.
101
336000
3000
所以能作這麽多事。
05:54
The next下一個 great stage階段, which哪一個 all of you are so familiar with:
102
339000
3000
下一個階段, 也是大家都熟悉的
05:57
the massive大規模的 information信息 revolution革命.
103
342000
3000
是大規模的資訊革命。
06:00
Just consider考慮 this one fact事實:
104
345000
3000
光想以下這個事實
06:03
One hundred years年份 ago, sending發出 these 10 words cost成本 50 dollars美元.
105
348000
4000
一百年前,傳送這10個字要花50美金
06:07
Right now, here we are linked關聯 up to Long Beach海灘 and everywhere到處 else其他,
106
352000
3000
現在我們能連線到長堤市,甚至世界各地
06:10
and all these secret秘密 locations地點 for a fraction分數 of that cost成本,
107
355000
3000
所需的價格和以前比起來簡直微不足道
06:13
and we can send發送 and receive接收 huge巨大 quantities數量 of information信息
108
358000
4000
我們可以傳送或接受大量的資訊
06:17
without it costing成本核算 anything.
109
362000
2000
而且還是免錢的。
06:19
So we're now living活的 in a post-bureaucratic後官僚 age年齡,
110
364000
5000
所以我們現在處在於後官僚體系期
06:24
where genuine真正 people power功率 is possible可能.
111
369000
4000
這時人民政權也變得可能了。
06:28
Now, what does this mean for our politics政治,
112
373000
3000
那麽現在,這對政治、
06:31
for our public上市 services服務, for our government政府?
113
376000
3000
對公共服務、政府有什麽影響呢?
06:34
Well I can't, in the time I've got, give huge巨大 numbers數字 of examples例子,
114
379000
4000
我的準備時間太短所以我不能給你們很多例子
06:38
but let me just give a few少數 of the ways方法 that life can change更改.
115
383000
5000
但是我還是舉出以下幾個可能的改變。
06:43
And this is so obvious明顯, in a way, because
116
388000
2000
這並不難看出,因爲,
06:45
you think about how all of you have changed
117
390000
2000
試想:我們在購物上、
06:47
the way we shop, the way we travel旅行, the way that business商業 is doneDONE.
118
392000
4000
旅遊上、做生意上的改變。
06:51
That is already已經 happened發生; the information信息 and Internet互聯網 revolution革命
119
396000
3000
資訊和網路革命是已經發生的了
06:54
has actually其實 gone走了 all the way through通過 our societies社會 in so many許多 different不同 ways方法,
120
399000
4000
已經徹底地在許多方面改變了我們的社會
06:58
but it hasn't有沒有, in every一切 way, yet然而 touched感動 our government政府.
121
403000
3000
但是在政府行政方面卻還沒。
07:01
So, how could this happen發生?
122
406000
2000
那麽,該如何讓改變發生?
07:03
Well, I think there are three chief首席 ways方法 that it should make an enormous巨大 difference區別:
123
408000
4000
我想,在三個方面可以有改變:
07:07
in transparency透明度, in greater更大 choice選擇 and in accountability問責,
124
412000
4000
透明度、更多的選擇、和責任歸屬
07:11
in giving us that genuine真正 people power功率.
125
416000
3000
這些改革可以真的賦予人民權力。
07:15
If we take transparency透明度, here is one of my favorite喜愛 websites網站,
126
420000
4000
談到透明度,這是我最喜歡的一個網站
07:19
the Missouri密蘇里州 Accountability問責制 Portal門戶.
127
424000
3000
密蘇里責任入口網站 (Missouri Accountability Portal )
07:22
In the old days, only the government政府 could hold保持 the information信息,
128
427000
3000
在以前,只有政府能擁有資訊
07:25
and only a few少數 elected當選 people could try and grab that information信息
129
430000
4000
只有少數議員能試著拿到資訊
07:29
and question it and challenge挑戰 it.
130
434000
2000
並去咨詢、挑戰其正當性。
07:31
Now here, on one website網站, one state in America美國,
131
436000
4000

而在政府和政治上
08:01
with the information信息 revolution革命.
141
466000
2000
資訊革命產生的影響才剛開始。
08:03
So, complete完成 transparency透明度 will make a huge巨大 difference區別.
142
468000
3000
所以,完全的透明度會帶來很大的改變。
08:06
In this country國家, if we win贏得 the election選舉,
143
471000
2000
在英國,如果我們贏得選舉的話
08:08
we are going to make all government政府 spending開支 over 25,000 pounds英鎊

148

2000
合約條件内容是什麽
08:24
driving主動 huge巨大 value for money,
149
489000

這會讓政府的錢更好用
08:26
but also huge巨大 increases增加, I believe, in well-being福利 as well.
150
491000
4000
我也相信,會全面增加人民福祉。
08:32
Choice選擇. Now you all shop online線上, compare比較 online線上, do everything online線上,
151
497000
6000
再來談選擇。現在大家都網路購物、比價,上網做很多事
08:38
and yet然而 this revolution革命 has hardly幾乎不 touched感動 the surface表面
152
503000
2000
但是這項功能
08:40
of public上市 services服務 like education教育, or health健康 care關心 or policing治安,
153
505000
4000
還沒有拓展到教育、健保、和治安上
08:44
and you're going to see this change更改 massively大規模.
154
509000
3000
你將會在這裡看到很多的改變。
08:47
We should be making製造 this change更改
155
512000
2000
我們也該做這樣的改變
08:49
with the information信息 revolution革命 in our country國家,
156
514000
2000
藉著資訊革命
08:51
with searchable搜索 health健康 sites網站, so you can see what operations操作 work out properly正確,
157
516000
5000
大家能上健保的網站去查,哪些手術項目、
08:56
what records記錄 doctors醫生 have, the cleanliness清潔度 of hospitals醫院,
158
521000
3000
能看到醫生的資歷,醫院的清潔比數
08:59
who does best最好 at infection感染 control控制 --
159
524000
2000
哪間醫院感染管制做得好
09:01
all of the information信息 that would once一旦 be locked鎖定 in the Department of Health健康
160
526000
4000
在以前這些資訊都由衛生署所掌控
09:05
is now available可得到 for all of us to see.
161
530000
3000
現在要讓大家都看得到。
09:08
And the third第三 of these big changes變化: accountability問責.
162
533000
4000
第三個大改變是, 明確的責任歸屬
09:12
This, I think, is a huge巨大 change更改.
163
537000
2000
這,我覺得是個很大的改變。
09:14
It is a crime犯罪 map地圖. This is a crime犯罪 map地圖 from Chicago芝加哥.
164
539000
4000
這是張芝加哥的犯罪分佈圖。
09:18
So, instead代替 of having a situation情況 where only the police警察 have the information信息
165
543000
3000
以前只有警察有這些資訊
09:21
about which哪一個 crimes犯罪 are committed提交 where,
166
546000
3000
知道誰在哪犯了什麽罪
09:24
and we have to employ採用 people in government政府
167
549000
3000
我們必須在政府裏面另外僱人
09:27
to try and hold保持 the police警察 to account帳戶,
168
552000
2000
來監督警察的執法
09:29
suddenly突然, we've我們已經 got this vast廣大 opportunity機會 for people power功率,
169
554000
3000
現在,人民有了力量
09:32
where we, as citizens公民, can see what crimes犯罪 are being存在 committed提交 --
170
557000
3000
我們一般老百姓也看得見
09:35
where, when and by whom --
171
560000
2000
什麽時候誰在哪裏犯了什麽罪
09:37
and we can hold保持 the police警察 to account帳戶.
172
562000
2000
我們也可以讓警察確實地負起責任。
09:39
And you can see this looks容貌 a bit like a chef's廚師 hat帽子,
173
564000
2000
這裡你可以看到,像一頂警帽
09:41
but actually其實 that's an assault突擊, the one in blue藍色.
174
566000
3000
事實上藍色的這是一個搶案。
09:44
You can see what crime犯罪 is committed提交 where,
175
569000
2000
你可以看得到犯罪的發生
09:46
and you have the opportunity機會 to hold保持 your police警察 force to account帳戶.
176
571000
3000
你也就有機會叫警察負責。
09:49
So those three ways方法 -- transparency透明度, accountability問責 and choice選擇 --
177
574000
6000
所以,透明度、責任歸屬、和更多的選擇
09:55
will make a huge巨大 difference區別.
178
580000
2000
將會帶來大改變。
09:57
Now I also said the other principle原理
179
582000
2000
我也說了其他的原則
09:59
that I think we should work on is understanding理解 of people,
180
584000
2000
我覺得要再努力的
10:01
is recognizing認識 that going with the grain糧食 of human人的 nature性質
181
586000
4000
是認同人性:順應人性的話
10:05
you can achieve實現 so much more.
182
590000
2000
你將會得到更多的發展。
10:07
Now, we're got a huge巨大 revolution革命 in understanding理解
183
592000
2000
現在在人類行爲學上也有了大革命
10:09
of why people behave表現 in the way that they do,
184
594000
3000
我們更了解了人類的行爲
10:12
and a great opportunity機會 to put that knowledge知識 and information信息 to greater更大 use.
185
597000
5000
也能更好地來運用這樣的知識和資訊。
10:17
We're working加工 with some of these people.
186
602000
2000
我們在和這些人工作
10:19
We're being存在 advised建議 by some of these people, as was said,
187
604000
3000
這些人在對我們提供咨詢
10:22
to try and bring帶來 all the experience經驗 to book.
188
607000
4000
並試著把這些經驗記下來。
10:26
Let me just give you one example that I think is incredibly令人難以置信 simple簡單, and I love.
189
611000
4000
我分享一個很簡單,但我很喜歡的例子。
10:30
We want to get people to be more energy能源 efficient高效.
190
615000
2000
我們希望能源的使用能更有效率
10:32
Why? It cuts削減 fuel汽油 poverty貧窮, it cuts削減 their bills票據,
191
617000
4000
爲什麽?因爲這可以減少能源匱乏的人數,
10:36
and it cuts削減 carbon emissions排放 at the same相同 time.
192
621000
2000
也減少能源支出和溫室氣體的排放。
10:38
How do you do it?
193
623000
2000
如何能辦到?
10:40
Well, we've我們已經 had government政府 information信息 campaigns活動 over the years年份
194
625000
2000
過去好幾年政府已經作了很多宣傳
10:42
when they tell you to switch開關 off the lights燈火 when you leave離開 the home.
195
627000
3000
出去的時候請關燈。
10:45
We even had -- one government政府 minister部長 once一旦 told us to
196
630000
3000
還曾有一個部長說
10:48
brush our teeth in the dark黑暗.
197
633000
2000
刷牙時不必開燈。
10:50
I don't think they lasted歷時 very long.
198
635000
2000
我並不覺得這些宣傳很有效。
10:52
Look at what this does. This is a simple簡單 piece of behavioral行為的 economics經濟學.
199
637000
4000
現在,看看行爲經濟學上的作法。
10:56
The best最好 way to get someone有人 to cut their electricity電力 bill法案
200
641000
3000
要讓一個人節省能源最好的辦法
10:59
is to show顯示 them their own擁有 spending開支,
201
644000
2000
就是讓他們看看自己的電費單
11:01
to show顯示 them what their neighbors鄰居 are spending開支,
202
646000
3000
讓他們看看其他鄰居的電費單
11:04
and then show顯示 what an energy能源 conscious意識 neighbor鄰居 is spending開支.
203
649000
3000
最後再讓他們看看用電省的鄰居的電費單。
11:07
That sort分類 of behavioral行為的 economics經濟學
204
652000
3000
從行爲經濟學上著眼
11:10
can transform轉變 people's人們 behavior行為
205
655000
2000
能夠徹底地轉換個人的行爲
11:12
in a way that all the bullying欺凌 and all the information信息
206
657000
3000
這是政府部門用再多的威嚇、資訊宣導
11:15
and all the badgering纏著 from a government政府 cannot不能 possibly或者 achieve實現.
207
660000
4000
巡查等手段都辦不到的。
11:19
Other examples例子 are recycling回收.
208
664000
2000
另一個例子,資源回收。
11:21
We all know we need to recycle回收 more.
209
666000
2000
大家都知道要做多一點回收
11:23
How do we make it happen發生?
210
668000
2000
但要怎麽做?
11:25
All the proof證明 from America美國 is that actually其實, if you pay工資 people to recycle回收,
211
670000
4000
從美國的做法得知,如果你付一點錢
11:29
if you give them a carrot胡蘿蔔 rather than a stick,
212
674000
2000
用鼓勵而不是懲罰的方式
11:31
you can transform轉變 their behavior行為.
213
676000
3000
那麽你能改變他們的行爲。
11:34
So what does all this add up to?
214
679000
2000
所以這告訴我們什麽?
11:36
Here are my two favorite喜愛 U.S. speeches演講 of the last 50 years年份.
215
681000
8000
以下是我近50年來最喜歡的兩個演講
11:44
Obviously明顯, here we have JFKJFK with that incredibly令人難以置信 simple簡單
216
689000
4000
當然了,有那場甘迺迪的
11:48
and powerful強大 formulation公式,
217
693000
2000
簡單但有力的措辭
11:50
"Ask not what your country國家 can do for you; ask what you can do for your country國家,"
218
695000
5000
“別問你的國家能為你做什麽;問你能為國家做什麽”
11:55
an incredibly令人難以置信 noble高貴 sentiment情緒.
219
700000
2000
十分高貴的精神。
11:57
But when he made製作 that speech言語, what could you do
220
702000
3000
但是當他發表這演講時,當時你要如何
12:00
to build建立 the stronger, better society社會?
221
705000
2000
建構一個更強更好的社會?
12:02
You could fight鬥爭 for your country國家, you could die for your country國家,
222
707000
3000
你能為你的國家打仗,捐軀
12:05
you could serve服務 in your country's civil國內 service服務,
223
710000
2000
你能為國服兵役
12:07
but you didn't really have the information信息 and the knowledge知識
224
712000
4000
但那時的人沒有像現在的人
12:11
and the ability能力 to help build建立 the stronger society社會 in the way that you do now.
225
716000
5000
擁有建構更好的社會的能力和知識。
12:16
And I think an even more wonderful精彩 speech言語,
226
721000
3000
我覺得,還有一個更好的演講
12:19
which哪一個 I'm going to read a big chunk of,
227
724000
4000
我現在要跟你們讀一段
12:23
which哪一個 sums總和 up what I said at the beginning開始
228
728000
2000
這也為我之前所說的做結論:
12:25
about believing相信 there is more to life than money,
229
730000
3000
生命中有比金錢更重要的事
12:28
and more that we should try and measure測量 than money.
230
733000
3000
有比金錢更需去追求和衡量的事。
12:31
And it is Robert羅伯特 Kennedy's肯尼迪 beautiful美麗 description描述
231
736000
2000
那就是勞伯.甘乃迪說的
12:33
of why gross national國民 product產品 captures捕獲 so little:
232
738000
3000
爲什麽國民生産毛額不夠代表性。
12:36
It "does not allow允許 for the health健康 of our children孩子,
233
741000
3000
因爲它不能衡量國内幼兒的健康
12:39
the quality質量 of their education教育, or the joy喜悅 of their play.
234
744000
3000
他們教育的品質、或他們遊戲的快樂。
12:42
It does not include包括 the beauty美女 of our poetry詩歌 or the strength強度 of our marriages婚姻,
235
747000
4000
它不能衡量一首詩的美麗、一段婚姻的堅固
12:46
the intelligence情報 of our public上市 debate辯論.
236
751000
2000
或是一場辯論裏面的智慧。
12:48
It measures措施 neither也不 our wit風趣 nor也不 our courage勇氣,
237
753000
3000
它不能衡量我們的聰明或勇氣
12:51
neither也不 our wisdom智慧 nor也不 our learning學習,
238
756000
2000
我們的智慧或學習
12:53
neither也不 our compassion同情 nor也不 our devotion忠誠 to our country國家.
239
758000
3000
也不能衡量我們對國家的熱情和忠心。
12:56
It measures措施 everything, in short,
240
761000
2000
總歸一句話,它衡量了一切
12:58
except that which哪一個 makes品牌 life worthwhile合算."
241
763000
3000
但是漏掉了讓我們不虛此生的因素。
13:01
Again, a sentiment情緒 that was so noble高貴 and beautifully精美 put 40 years年份 ago,
242
766000
5000
再一次,這是多麽高貴優美的情感
13:06
and a beautiful美麗 dream夢想 40 years年份 ago,
243
771000
3000
是40年前很美的一個夢想
13:09
but now with the huge巨大 advances進步 in information信息 technology技術,
244
774000
4000
現在藉著資訊科技的進步
13:13
with the massive大規模的 changes變化 in behavioral行為的 economics經濟學,
245
778000
3000
和行爲經濟學上的大進步
13:16
with all that we know about how you advance提前 well-being福利,
246
781000
4000
還有增進國民福祉的知識
13:20
that if we combine結合 those insights見解
247
785000
2000
如果我們結合所有這些想法:
13:22
of giving power功率 to people, and using運用 information信息 to make that possible可能,
248
787000
4000
藉由資訊的使用、將權力給人民
13:26
and using運用 the insight眼光 of going with the grain糧食 of human人的 nature性質,
249
791000
4000
並順從人性的發展
13:30
while at the same相同 time, understanding理解 why people behave表現 in the way they do,
250
795000
4000
去了解爲什麽大家都麽做的原因
13:34
it is a dream夢想 more easy簡單 to realize實現 today今天
251
799000
4000
那麽比起40年前,這個夢想
13:38
than it was when it was made製作 in that beautiful美麗 speech言語 40 years年份 ago.
252
803000
4000
將更容易實現。
13:42

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Cameron - Politician
David Cameron is the prime minister of the UK and the leader of the UK's Conservative Party.

Why you should listen

David Cameron became the prime minster of the United Kingdom in May 2010, leading a coalition government (the UK's first since World War II). He was elected leader of the Conservative Party in December 2005, and has been a Member of Parliament for the Witney constituency since 2001. Before he became an MP, he was a Special Adviser  to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then to the Home Secretary. He took a break to work in media for seven years, then stood for election in 2001 on an agenda of tax-cutting. (During the election, he also wrote a column for the Guardian.) As a new MP, he took several controversial positions, such as coming out in favor of the "harm reduction" drug policy. He became a member of the shadow cabinet (an alternative cabinet to the party in power) in 2003, and two years later became head of the party.
