Given the 0.7% trend in real consumption growth over the past four and a half years, the US economy’s anemic 2.2% annualized recovery in the aftermath of the Great Recession is almost miraculous. Credit that mainly to the other 30%, especially to strong exports and a rebound in business capital spending.
鉴于过去四年半中实际消费区区0.7%的增长率，大萧条后美国经济能以2.2%的速度缓慢复苏不失为一个奇迹。这主要归功于除消费以外的其余30%，特别需要感谢强劲的出口和企业资本支出的反弹。
