This is not to deny that some of the 1% have contributed a great deal. Indeed, the social benefits of many real innovations (as opposed to the novel financial “products” that ended up unleashing havoc on the world economy) typically far exceed what their innovators receive.
我并不是否认这1%中有一部分人确实对社会贡献卓越。事实上，许多真正的创新（绝非最终给世界经济带来巨大浩劫的新奇金融“产品”）所带来的社会益处远远超过了创新者自己所获得的好处。
