Structural reforms, in which certain interests are sacrificed for the greater good, will always be controversial and difficult to execute. But when such reforms involve sacrifices by ordinary citizens and benefit society’s most privileged groups, political gridlock and instability invariably follow.
结构性改革需要牺牲一定利益以换取更大的好处，因此永远会引起争议，难于执行。但当改革牵涉到牺牲普通公民、令社会最有特权群体受益时，就必然会引起政治僵局和动荡。
