This implies that further progress in trade liberalization will be slow. But slow progress is a far less important challenge to growth prospects than the debt overhang in developed economies, or infrastructure and educational deficiencies in many developing economies.
这意味着贸易自由化的进一步进展将会放缓。但相对于发达国家所面对的债务，或者许多发展中经济体的基础设施和教育缺口来说，这一缓慢进展只能算是一个次要的发展障碍。事实的真相往往会被忽视。过去的贸易自由化导致全球政策体制出现了一种偏见，以为进一步的自由化就能产生同样的结果。
