5. 主文第二段：金錢財富產生的問題

   儘管有這些好處，不斷增加的消費模式也產生了大量的平衡問題。最值得注意的是，消費的增加經常伴隨著資源耗竭和碳排放所造成的不永續的環境影響。高收入國家的平均碳足跡比低收入國家高出16 倍。此外，當經濟利益集中在特定的社會階層時，收入的增加往往會造成日益嚴重的不平等。在巴西，儘管2000 年至2020 年間經濟顯著成長，但收入最高的10% 的人約佔總收入成長的55%。在個人層面，研究發現了一種「享樂型跑步機」現象，即基於消費的快樂被證明是顯著短暫的，儘管物質獲得增加，滿意度卻很快回到基線。跨越不同文化的研究一致顯示，在中等收入水準以上，額外消費與幸福感的衡量關係微弱。

   貧富不均與幸福遞減

   Despite these benefits, rising consumption patterns generate substantial counterbalancing concerns. Most notably, increased consumption frequently corresponds with unsustainable environmental impacts through resource depletion and carbon emissions. The average carbon footprint in high-income countries exceeds that of low-income nations by a factor of sixteen. Furthermore, rising incomes often generate growing inequality when economic benefits concentrate among particular segments of society. In Brazil, despite significant economic growth between 2000 and 2020, the highest-earning 10% captured approximately 55% of total income growth. On an individual level, research identifies a ”hedonic treadmill” phenomenon whereby consumption-based happiness proves remarkably transient, with satisfaction levels quickly returning to baseline despite increased material acquisition. Studies across diverse cultures consistently show that beyond moderate income levels, additional consumption correlates weakly with happiness measures.
