By many measures, global inequality has been reduced significantly over the past three decades, implying that capitalism has succeeded spectacularly. Capitalism has perhaps eroded rents that workers in advanced countries enjoy by virtue of where they were born.
从很多角度讲，全球不平等性在过去三十年得到了巨大的降低，这是资本主义的伟大胜利。资本主义也许减少了发达国家工人因为出生而享受到的租（rent）。但它对亚洲和新兴市场的全球真正的中等收入工人的帮助更大。
