Between 1980 and 2002, average annual per capita income growth in the rich world (defined as the “old” OECD members) was almost 2%, compared to just 0.1% in the 42 least developed countries. Indeed, average income in Latin America is now barely above its 1980 level.
1980年至2002年之间，富国（也就是“老的”经合组织成员国）的平均人年均收入增长几乎2％，与之相比，42个最不发达国家只有0.1％。事实上，拉美国家的平均收入只比1980年的水平高一点点。
