Add two billion Indian and Chinese workers to the global labor force, and the value of other means of production – particularly capital and commodities (for example, gold and oil) – is bound to go up. And so it has, with capitalists everywhere gaining an ever larger share of the economic pie. (In theory, capitalists in labor-abundant China and India could end up as losers, but in practice they, too, have benefited thanks to their governments’ success in simultaneously liberalizing and globalizing.)
经济学家们对这一现象却不以为奇。在全球的劳力大军中增加20亿印度和中国工人，那么其它生产资料的价值—特别是资本和商品（例如黄金和石油）--肯定会上涨。随着世界各地的资本家们掌控的经济份额越来越大，这已是既成事实。（从理论上讲，在劳动力丰富的中国和印度，资本家可能成为输家。但在现实中，由于其政府成功的同步自由化和全球化，他们也受益匪浅。）
