With the political context undermining the right mix of short- and longer-term measures, national policymaking has stumbled into partial approaches and unusual experimentation. The focus has been on buying time, rather than on implementing a sensible transition to a sustainable policy stance.
由于政治环境破坏了短期/长期措施的正确组合，国家政策制定陷入了局部方案以及异常的实验性举动之中。其焦点在于拖延时间而不是实施合理措施从而过渡到可持续的政策立场。其实如果当初能及时考虑极度不平等问题的话，那么各国所面对的潜在状况就不会有如此大的不确定性。
