And, as Ben Friedman of Harvard University argued persuasively in his 2006 book The Moral Consequences of Growth, economic growth is good for open and democratic societies. But markets and capitalist incentives have clear weaknesses in ensuring stability, equity, and sustainability, which&nbsp;can adversely affect political and social cohesion.
米兰—市场和资本主义激励在促进市场效率、增长和创新方面具有很大的优势。哈佛大学的本·弗里德曼（Ben Friedman）在其2006年的著作《增长的道德后果》（The Moral Consequences of Growth）中令人信服地指出，经济增长对开放的民主社会来说是大好事。但市场和资本主义激励在保证稳定、平等和可持续性方面有着显而易见的劣势，而这会对政治和社会凝聚力造成不利影响。
