As a result, most countries face a trio of inequalities – of income, wealth, and opportunity – which, left unchecked, reinforce one another, with far-reaching consequences. Indeed, beyond this trio’s moral, social, and political implications lies a serious economic concern: instead of creating incentives for hard work and innovation, inequality begins to undermine economic dynamism, investment, employment, and prosperity.
结果，大部分国家面临着三重不平等——收入、财富和机会——若不加以改观，三者之间将互相强化，造成影响深远的后果。事实上，三重不平等除了道德、社会和政治影响外，还造成了严重的经济隐忧：不平等性并没有激励努力工作和创新，反而开始破坏经济活力、投资、就业和繁荣。
