Even in normal times, the super-rich depend on government support and action. It is largely the government that has financed the fundamental research that produced the information-technology revolution and the firms (such as Apple and Microsoft) that it has spawned.
即使在正常时期，超级富豪也依赖政府支持的行为。信息技术革命及其所催生的公司（如苹果和微软）的背后是基础研究，而基础研究大部分是政府出资的。
