Differences in saving rates matter a lot, and must be a major reason that China’s annual economic growth rate is now a full six percentage points higher than in the US. If people are saving half their income, their investments in capital have the potential to propel the economy at a rapid pace.
储蓄率的差异至关重要，而且毫无疑问是目前中国年经济增长高于美国整整六个百分点的主要原因。如果人们把一半收入都用来储蓄，那么他们的资金投入就能够推动经济的快速发展。中国的储蓄在很大程度上是良性循环：快速的经济增长带来了高额储蓄，而高额储蓄反过来又支持了快速发展。
