Clearly the students were uncomfortable about condoning a significant redistribution of income, even if the economic pie grew as a result. How is it possible, I asked, that almost all of them had instinctively favored free trade, which entails a similar – in fact, most likely greater – redistribution from losers to winners?
很显然学生们都难以容忍这种大幅收入再分配的形式，即使在整个经济蛋糕被做大了的情况下。我接着问，为何他们中的大多数人又近乎本能地拥护自由贸易，而自由贸易其实也会导致一种类似的——事实上甚至更大幅度的——由输家到赢家的财富重新分配。学生们看上去都被震住了。
