Almost everywhere, globalization has produced both a new class of multi-millionaires and an underclass comprising people who are not just poor in the statistical sense of earning less than half the national average, but who are excluded from opportunities that are supposed to be open to all. Globalization’s dynamism has benefited many, but it has also increased inequality.
各国内部的情况也大体如此。全球化几乎在所有的地方既造就了一个新的百万富翁阶层，又产生了一个下层社会。在这个阶层中，人们不仅在收入的统计学含义上只有全国平均水平的一半，而且还被排斥在理应向全体公众开放的机会之外。全球化的推动力造福了许多人，但同时也增加了不平等。
