This is a dangerous combination that erodes social cohesion, political effectiveness, current GDP growth, and future economic potential. That is why it is so disappointing that, despite heightened awareness of inequality, the IMF/World Bank meetings – a gathering of thousands of policymakers, private-sector participants, and journalists, which included seminars on inequality in advanced countries and developing regions alike – failed to make a consequential impact on the policy agenda.
这是个危险的组合，它侵蚀社会凝聚，破坏政治效率，拉低当前GDP增长，抑制未来经济潜力。因此，令人颇感失望的是，尽管有数千位决策者、私人部门参与者和记者参与、包括了许多关于发达国家和发展中地区不平等性问题研讨会的IMF/世界银行会议对不平等性问题心知肚明，却没有对政治日程形成重大影响。
