In China, for example, rapid economic growth after the late 1970s was associated with a significant rise in inequality. Roughly half of the increase was the result of urban-rural earnings gaps, which also acted as the engine of growth.
比如，在中国，20世纪70年代末以后的快速经济增长伴随着不平等程度的显著增加。不平等程度增加的大约一半来自城乡收入差距，而这也是经济增长的引擎。
