In fact, given an increasingly unequal distribution of income between capital and labor (as well as across the income spectrum for labor) a larger store of public assets certainly has merit, as it equalizes the distribution of capital and wealth, albeit indirectly. Not only can public assets be used to cushion shocks and counter adverse trends; they can also help fund an expansion of social insurance.
事实上考虑到资本和劳动两者（以及不同工种之间）日渐失衡的收入分配，更大的公共资产储备显然是有利的，因为它能以非直接的方式平衡资本和财富的分配。这些公共资产，不仅可以用来缓冲冲击即逆转反向趋势；还有助于为社会保险范围的扩大提供资金。
