In publications spanning the last 20 years, the present author has discussed the ranking of entire nations by their social and economic performance. Here the sustainable development goals (SDGs) achievements of all OECD member nations for 2020 are investigated, using a set of nine indicators of “Human Well-being” published by the OECD office in Paris, and also using Covid-19 data published by the World Health Organization (WHO). We show that the pandemic struck more severely those nations that already before Jan.1, 2020 harbored unrecognized and unattended well-being deficits in terms of indicators such as care fo the elderly, personal safety, and hygiene. The calculations support views argued forcefully by J.E. Stiglitz, J.- P. Fitoussi and M. Durand (2019): markets are not in equilibrium all the time, and economics needs a new paradigm recognizing the possibility of Pareto inefficiency.

在过去 20 年的出版物中，本文作者讨论了整个国家的社会和经济表现排名。在这里，使用经合组织巴黎办事处发布的一组九项“人类福祉”指标，并使用经合组织成员国发布的 Covid-19 数据，对 2020 年所有经合组织成员国的可持续发展目标 (SDG) 成就进行了调查。世界卫生组织 (WHO)。我们表明，大流行对那些在 2020 年 1 月 1 日之前就已经在老年人护理、个人安全和卫生等指标方面存在未被承认和无人看管的福祉赤字的国家造成了更严重的打击。这些计算支持了 JE Stiglitz、J.-P. Fitoussi 和 M. Durand（2019 年）强烈争论的观点：市场并非一直处于均衡状态，
