International organizations generally point out – rightly – that in most cases a country can improve economic efficiency without changing its economic model. For example, there is often ample room for achieving the same income redistribution at lower budgetary cost, or for ensuring that collective wage agreements take into account the interests of those without a job.
但既然存在不同的模式，那么改革应该以何为先？国际组织通常（正确地）指出，在更多情形中，一国可以在不改变经济模式的情况下改善经济效率。比如，通常总是存在以更低的预算成本达到相同的收入在分配效果的充足空间，或者确保集体工资协定考虑无工作人员的利益。因此，可以在改革国家模式的同时保留满足社会偏好的安排。
