A fundamental driver of many of these problems may well be the unprecedented speed of change – driven by globalization and technological innovation – which has produced disruptions too quickly and on too large a scale for us to manage. For example, while communication technology has done wonders, say, to expand access to finance in Africa, it has also enabled terrorist networks to encrypt their communications effectively.
许多这些问题的根本原因是前所未有的变革速度——其背后是全球化和科技创新——高速变革所产生的破坏效应太快太大，让我们措手不及。比如，尽管通讯技术在（比如）扩大非洲金融普及方面收获颇丰，但也让恐怖分子网络能够高效地进行加密通信。而全球金融危机鲜明地表明，监管者难以赶上金融创新的节奏。
