专题一 第2讲 模拟练 提考能 A (2024·浙江省绍兴市高三二模) To build a prosperous(繁荣的) society, a fundamental understanding of the modern economy as a driving force in today's world is essential. What kind of prosperity have we achieved so far？The widespread definition of prosperity focuses on economic power and growth as measures of success.Let's take a look at history.The Second Industrial Revolution enabled mass production and created a sufficient supply of goods.This has greatly increased the importance of money in its role as “a store of value” and “a medium of exchange”．As a result, we have pursued economic power as the only indicator of prosperity, such as GDP.Waves of globalization and technological evolution have promoted overall economic growth, but have allowed the few who are strong to achieve greater power while exploiting the many who are weak.Consequently, inequality has worsened, and disunity has intensified. The path to a truly prosperous world requires a shift in focus towards the most suitable happiness for all, in addition to economic power.Defining happiness, however, is a complex task.What makes people happy？The degree to which the same thing creates happiness differs from person to person.Happiness is subjective and complicated.This is a world of “multiple values” where each of us determines worth as opposed to “one fixed price” based merely on an economic perspective.Individuals shouldn't be defined by a single identity or role but by multidimensional nature as well as multiple roles making independent choices and taking actions for their happiness in different aspects. Businesses must be pioneers in pursuing not only economic growth but also the happiness of all citizens of society.Companies can contribute through the pursuit of social value as well as economic profit.At the heart of this lies “purpose”．A company's purpose defines the value it brings to society.The true worth of a company should be determined not just by the returns it creates for shareholders but by the value it creates for society as a whole. 1．What is the author's attitude to the widely accepted standard of prosperity？ A．Indifferent.
