On the global level, it is difficult to argue that inequality is one of the world’s major political-economic problems. It is hard, at least for me, to envision alternative political arrangements or economic policies over the past fifty years that would have transferred any significant portion of the wealth of today’s rich nations to today’s poor nations.
在全球范围内，强调不平等是当今世界主要的政治经济问题是有困难的。至少对于我来说，很难设想在过去五十年中有什么其他政治制度或者经济政策可以将当今富有国家的财富主要部分转移到今天的穷国中。
